https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=SupportBoard&download=3154 What I am trying to do right now is to buy 3 contracts with an 8 ticks stop, sell 2 at a 4 ticks profit, and have the stop for the remaining contract go to breakeven as soon as that sell order is executed, while its sell order (the one for the third, remaining contract) stays at an 8 tick profit. Is this the correct way to do it? By putting a positive or negative number in te BE Level Offset I could do the same, but with the new stop at the specified number of ticks above or below the breakeven level, is it correct? |

This looks correct. The only thing is that you are using a Trailing Stop-Limit order for the Stop. Not sure that is what you intended. The documentation for the Breakeven Level Offset can be found here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_AttachedOrders.html#MoveBreakevenForStop If you want to stop to move exactly to break even when the first Target is filled, then leave it at 0.
