Hi,

Thank you for SierraChart, could I ask if there is currently a way to know or show, the prices for "move to breakeven" and "trigger to start trailing" ?
If using these two features of trading, could a line or mark be showed around the price that when reached, the stop would change to breakeven and also a line or mark around the price that will make the trailing stop start ?

Is there a way to see this on any log ? ( I saw that it is possible to see the offset and step of the orders in the activity log )

I am asking because I just had Triggered Step Trailing Stop order with breakeven, and the trailing started although it price never reached the amount of ticks it had to ( I had it set to 400 ticks, it started around 320 ticks ).

Probably Sierra Chart is doing the proper thing and I am doing something wrong somewhere, so it would be great to have the price displayed in some log or even a line or marker on the chart at what price the automatation will kick in.

Thanks !

Thank you very much on doing this on the latest versions.

It has the info i need ( the trailing stop continues as it is triggered ).

Could I ask only to put a separator character between the number and the last text ? Right now is something like : TrailTrig: 12345Open ( a separator character between the number and the Open ).

Thank you very much !

We will fix this. We had thought this was already the case.
