Dear SC, Is it possible for SC to fully manage an attached stop so as to set an absolute price at order time? As-is, the stop amount is relative to your filled entry price, which means users need to then later adjust the order themselves if they want an absolute stop price set. I am using automated trading and just received an error adjusting my stop price. What happened was I had a position on to buy a 4-lot of CL (this was filled completely). But the stop (in the trade activity log) only showed an open order of 1 lot. Please see the attached trade service log and attached trade activity log. Can you tell me what happened to the attached stop loss? Is it possible for Sierra Chart to fully manage an absolute stop price which is specified at order time, so that users don't need to write code to adjust the stop price? Please see the attached modify_order_snippet.cpp (the code is known to work and I haven't noticed this event before) which shows how I'm modifying my order.

For what you are interested in, you need to disable: Trade >> General Trade Settings >>Adjust Attached Orders To Maintain Same Offset On Parent Fill. We had a look at your Trade Activity Log. The reason the order quantity is 1 is because your automated trading system had set the quantity of the order to 1 when it modified it. If you do not want to modify the quantity, leave it at zero and Sierra Chart will make sure the quantity remains the same. This is the safest thing to do. Your automated trading system had made a modification when another modification was pending. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
