Hi there, I'm working on configuring my trade order configurations. I first read related documentation here https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/AttachedOrders.html#AttachedOrdersExample. My Target Type: Market If Touched Client MY Stop Loss Type: Stop with the Last Triggering I have a common stop with 4 profit targets. Below is an example of a long trade. Initial stop loss distance: R 1. Sell 1/4 of the initial quantity when 1.2R reached @ Target 1 and move stop loss to breakeven. I can do this via Step 1 under "Move to Breakeven for Stop". 2. Sell 1/4 of the initial quantity when 2R reached @ Target 2 and move stop loss to entry price + 0.5R. I can do this via Step 2 under "Move to Breakeven for Stop" 3. Sell 1/4 of the initial quantity when 4R reached @ Target 3 and move stop loss to entry price + 3R. I could not find a way to perform the last stop move. 4. Sell remaining when target 4 reached. How can I achieve moving my stop loss at step 3 defined above? Thanks. |

There is not a support for third step for the Move to Breakeven functionality. So we do not not have another suggestion.

You could use the Trailing Step Stop if you're willing to accept a fixed amount of stop adjustment in your stop as your targets are reached. Order Types: Step Trailing Stop -- Scott |

Thank you, Scott. In this case, it is better for me to manually move last stop. It would help me at step 3. But It does not exist.

We developed a custom position sizing and trade management study so I do not use Trade Window anymore.
