I have an apparent problem with the Parent Order of an Order Configuration and Attached Order. J26 in the spreadsheet is set to 3 There are 3 Attached Order targets (MIT) and 1 Stop All Order Entry is for quantity of 3, a Market Buy/Sell the 3 button is selected in the Order Entry preset. The Preset is saved. In the Spreadsheet Study, Maximum Position Allowed is 3 When the trade signal occurs, I get the error: Trade Order Error: The order quantity for the Parent Order is 1 and this is less than the total order quantity of 3 for the Attached Orders. Adjust the order quantities so the parent is greater or equal to the Attached Orders. The Trade Window is reset to a quantity of 1 Other Preset Trades with a quantity of 1 trigger fine on the trade signal, of course. I have read the documentation and don't see an error in the setup for a 3 contract trade. What am I missing here ? thank you Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-04-22 03:58:55

OK I think I got it sorted; I still get the occasional warning on backtest replay but it's working in general. So we shall see... |

This would indicate that you are entering the order quantity on the wrong Sheet in the spreadsheet. Reference: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetSystemsAlertsAndAutomatedTrading.php#CellJ26 What is happening is the order quantity is being set to 1 on the Trade Window, but that would mean that the order quantity of 3 is not entered on the correct Sheet.
