Can one disable or hide exchange errors and can one schedule an order?

1. When I have a trailing stop sometimes the price moves too fast. In this case Sierra responds with a rejection message which has to be closed before it will manage the trailing stop again. This means I sometimes get taken out at BE instead of say +5 etc. Is it possible for the error messages to not be a MODAL form and instead just go to the transaction log? This way Sierra can still manage the trailing stop without waiting for user input / action.

2. It's not possible to issue a buy order BELOW the current price or a sell above the current price. Therefore, is it possible to have Sierra then "schedule" it by monitoring the price "client side" and the moment I want to buy / sell it sends the order to the exchange?

1. What do you mean by this:

Close what?

Is it possible for the error messages to not be a MODAL form and instead just go to the transaction log?
This is definitely not true. There are no trading related error messages, which use a modal interface.

2. There is a client-side stop order available:

1. When I had a trailing stop and lets say price moved too fast to keep up say target was 10 with ts of 2. As Sierra moved to 8 and price dropped to 7 it would get an error requiring me to close the window. It appeared to be a window which would prevent further "management" of the TS was I wrong?

2. Thanks I will give it a go
