Hi, I set a target and a stop, as soon as price reaches my stop, it gets taken out, but when price reaches my target, it waits and it does not get filled, until only when price moves a price higher than my set target. Is there any explanation to this, or something wrong with my trade setup on sierra, let me know please. Thank you, Telema |

We need to know the exact order type that is set for the Target on the Attached Orders tab of the Trade Window. When you select the Target on that tab, we need to know what is in the "Type" pulldown.

Check your Trade Activity Log and see if it actually filled at the price you expected or 1 tick above. It sounds like you were watching the price movement and when it touched the Target it did not fill. This is normal, as the Bid needs to get to that level in order to offset your Sell position.
