Unless I have missed something in the extensive documentation, I believe that there is no way to accomplish the following. When you click in the chart to submit an order, an optional confirmation pop-up is displayed, wonderful. At this point however, the orders are not yet visible in the chart. As a result I loose time checking the textual order prices for all my attached orders as listed in the pop-up, to figure out what the order levels in the chart will look like once I click OK, and verify that they are correct. It is also an error-prone activity. It would be nice if the orders that are about to be submitted are already visible in the chart when the confirm box pops up, perhaps as dashed lines or so. Another way would be to put the orders in the chart ahead of time (a setup if often already building up for some time, just waiting for the final trigger), then transmit then at a later moment with a mouse click once all conditions have been fulfilled. Interactive brokers charts support this style, and it is very convenient (instead of click and shoot at the last moment). Thank you in advance for your answer. |

(Reference post: "Attached orders always visible") Our requests are similar and it seems we are headed kind of in the same direction. I have a question though... as described in my original post, do you think the extending rectangle with a line representing the parent order would serve your needs? It would be great if there were an option to select an order type (buy, sell... whatever) and then be able to position the parent order on the screen with the attached orders visible. I suppose there would need to be a toggle of some sort to activate the order to make it a "live" order. For my purposes, this would need to be visible across all charts in the chart book. |

We understand, this is not supported. It is not something we would put on our to do list as we have too many things to do and it is not commonly requested. This will have to be looked at in the longer-term later on. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
