Trading the ES with a small account can be dangerous due to sudden price swings via news items. Sierra currently lacks the toos so that one can automatically generate a protective FLATTEN order. Here is what's needed. 1. Real time account balance and Open P&L data. 2. The ability to generate a FLATTEN order when the Open P&L hits a preset level without locking out the account for the remainder of the day. Example: =flatten(openpl<mystoploss) Note that this is not a regular stop loss order. |

This is already supported: Global Profit/Loss Management . Real time account balance This is something that Sierra Chart cannot control. This would be handled by the underlying service which in your case would be CQG.

1. The Global Profit Loss Management DOES NOT SOLVE THE REQUEST because of the Daily Net Loss Management >> Reset When the Trade Positions for a Trade Account are flattened, the Daily Net Loss Management is disabled until the next trading day. DISABLING ALL TRADING UNTIL THE NEXT DAY IS UNACCEPTABLE. 2 Rational. Trading the ES has many false moves within (tlall wicks) a bar where a regular Stop Loss order WILL ALWAYS BE HIT. This is what Algos do - HUNT STOP LOSS ORDERS. Many times the ES will whipsaw and reverse direction. Being locked out for the day is the problem and is not acceptable. My request allows a Stop Loss to be implemented without being locked out for the day. Please implement my request. It is very different from the Global Profit and Loss Management. Thanks |

You just need to disable the option to not lock trading.
