Hi, I use an OCO bracket order to place my trades. The issue I'm experiencing is that instead of having target one be two contracts and having target three be 1 contract, it keeps switching it so that target 1 is 1 contract and target three is 2 contracts. I've tried adjusting it manually several times in the target settings window so that that target 1 is 1 contract and target three is 2 contracts and then saving the configuration but the next time I open up the trade window it automatically reverts back to having target 1 be 1 contract and target 3 being 2 contracts. Thanks |

You need to select the specific Trade Configuration file that you have setup for this. Even if the file is listed at the top and then you change the quantity, it will not distribute the extra contracts as you want. You need to select that specific configuration that has the quantity set as you want.

I’m sorry I’m confused, I am selecting the trade configuration that I want, then adjusting to how I want the contracts distributed, then saving the configuration again. This keeps the configuration how I want it until I close and SC. Upon reopening SC, even though I saved the configuration to the correct contract distribution, it reverts to the wrong contract distribution settings. Can you please tell me what I need to do to fix this. I read everything that pertained to this in the link you sent me and still don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Thanks

After you open Sierra Chart again, if the layout of the orders is not how you want it to be in your Trade Window, select the specific configuration that has the setup as you want it. The Trade Window will update to how that configuration was setup when you saved it. The main point we are trying to make is that even though the configuration may be displayed at the top of the Trade Window, it does not mean that the actual layout of the Trade Window still matches that configuration. To get everything "sync'd up", you need to select the configuration file again.

The problem you have could be the result of using Trade Window linking. And causing the configuration to change unexpectedly.
