I have my global profit settings set to $160 and today hit the target and exceeded it yet my account did not lock? Should I reinstall Sierra chart to fix this issue? I downloaded the newest update and still problem exists. I have checked that I am using the correct account. It matches with the account on trade >> open trade window for chart. also matches with the account on trade >> trade activity log. here is a picture of my settings: https://imgur.com/gallery/EHrN0YD Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-03-23 17:21:58

The problem is in the value for the Profit Value After Trigger To Flatten Positions. The profit needs to have reached the Trigger value and then be less than the Profit Value After Trigger in order to flatten. The recommendation is to make the Profit Value After Trigger to Flatten Positions to be twice the value of the trigger if you want it to flatten at the Trigger value. Refer to the information for that setting in here: Global Profit/Loss Management: Daily Net Profit Management For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

John, I initially implemented your solution but I still find that the global profit and loss trigger does not execute consistently. By this I mean, once every while it will not lock me out. I have attached my settings below. https://imgur.com/gallery/IeoSQPm |

In the situation you provided the image from, how many open trades did you have? Was this during a replay? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
