Intra-day fills displayed independently on a spread position

Hello, wondering whether this is possible using SierraChart

I have a Crude Oil spread open -10 @ 57.78 CLK19

Now I also want to do intra-day scalping.

Normally when I buy 1@MKT CLK19 around 61.77 (see the screenshot from SIM trading) I will not see the position line. Only attached orders SL + PT will be displayed since the average fill price is way below current intra-day fill

Question 1: will move to break-even work correctly in this scenario? I have 20 ticks SL and 40 ticks PT and want to move to BE after 20 ticks open profit is reached. Since break-even price is somewhere around 57 dollars I wonder ...

Question 2: is it possible with some setting in Sierra to have intra-day fill displayed "independently" from the original spread position as shown on the screenshot attached (SIM trade) ideally?

We do not know what you mean in this case by "spread".

The move to breakeven functionality is going to be based on the associated parent order for the attached Stop order and when using the scaling in functionality. How that works is explained here:

You can display the order fills on the chart. Refer to:

what I meant by "spread" was that I hold calendar futures spread in Crude oil

-10 @ 57.78 CLK19
+10 @ 57.49 CLM19

but I also want to daytrade CLK19 contract and use attached orders (+move to BE)

Today I tried to trade CLK19 and can confirm STOP order was moved correctly to price 62.02 + 1 tick even though AVG positions price for K contract is about 57.8 so it works as expected

What does not seems to be working is order fills are not displayed even though Menu -> Trade -> Show order fills = CHECKED

See the screenshot

Make sure that Trade >> Show Order Fills is enabled for that particular chart. Go through all of the items here:

Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Displaying Order Fills on the Chart (Displaying Order Fills)

We cannot tell anything obvious from the screenshot about why there is a problem with the order fills not displaying.
