I have a custom study that submits a market order. I have: sc.SupportAttachedOrdersForTrading = true; I have both of these checked: Auto-Trading Enabled – Global Auto-Trading Enabled – Chart I have the order I want to attach selected in the Trade Window, which is a 5 point Trailing Stop with a 10 point Target. And even though I don’t think it’s necessary, I have also checked: Use Attached Orders However, once the market order fills, instead of attaching the order selected in the Trade Window, it attaches a 20 point stop order with no target. So I have to manually Cancel that order, and then manually attach the order selected in the Trade Window. The weird thing… that 20 point stop order is a very old order, from months ago, that I used as a Disaster Stop. But that order was deleted a long time ago. It no longer exists. It’s like SC has that order saved somewhere and keeps using/attaching it. Now... if I manually enter a market order from the Trade Window, then the correct order, the order selected in the Trade Window, gets attached. So the problem only occurs when the entry order is submitted from the custom study. BTW, I am testing this in the simulator. Any idea how to correct this? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-10-06 14:55:52

What you instead want to set is this: sc.UseGUIAttachedOrderSetting = 1;
Remove: sc.SupportAttachedOrdersForTrading = true;

Also make sure you are looking at the correct Trade Window: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Opening Trade Window for Chart or Trade DOM Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
