So here's what happened: 1) Trade Window shows quantity 5 contracts 2) Use attached orders (checked) 3) Target #1 shows quantity 4 contracts 4) Target #2 shows quantity 1 contracts 5) Stop All shows quantity 1? (greyed out) My Stop loss is set to OCO Group Triggered (group 1) - move to breakeven for stop. I have used this attached order extensively in market replay and everything functions perfectly. While trading live, the market filled only 1 of my 4 contracts at the first price target level. When that 1 contract was filled "A" SL moved to breakeven. That shouldn't have happened until all 4 were filled. I say "A" stop-loss moved to breakeven because a stop-loss order was still at my original spot. Price then retraced to "breakeven" and closed one of my contracts leaving 3 remaining open.... weird. Price then retested the first target and closed the remaining 3 contracts. This is what should have happened: Price moves to first target, one contract closes, SL doesn't move. Price then retests first target and closes 3 more contracts (total 4) and stop-loss moves to breakeven. Remaining contract either reaches 2nd target or stops out at breakeven. It seems as if the Sierra Chart platform "thought" I only opened one contract instead of 5 so when that first contract closed, it moved to breakeven (but only for one contract) as it didn't close the other 3. This entire time there was an order line at the original breakeven location. So it was like there were two stop-loss levels. Help! |

I uploaded my trade activity log to hopefully make understanding my issue easier. Something else: during that trade I was not seeing my trades/trade activity on my Trade Activity Log screen. I then hit "apply" and all the data showed up. Do you think that solved my issue? Does the platform use the trade activity log to manage trades? |

When that 1 contract was filled "A" SL moved to breakeven. That shouldn't have happened until all 4 were filled. This new Chart Trade Settings option will be added to the next release to prevent this condition:Require Full Fill of Target For Move to Breakeven Attached Order Otherwise, analyzing what is happening in your particular case is not something we can spend time with. All the functionality must have worked properly, other than what we quoted above and we have added an option for that. Anyway you can analyze all of this through the Trade Activity Log: Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity . I then hit "apply" and all the data showed up. Do you think that solved my issue? Does the platform use the trade activity log to manage trades? No. No.
