Hi!!

I have 2 targets.. 1st target has a Stop called Stop Limit . So after target hit, this should disappear, but it doesn't. It stays open while the 2nd target is in process. Need some help.. I need my 1st target to clear completely. Thank you!

If you are entering the Attached Orders through the Trade Window and you have 2 targets with 1 stop, then it is correct for the Stop to stay active until both Targets have been closed out.

If you look at the Stop, it should state that the OCO group it is associated with is "All OCO Groups", and when the first target it hit, then quantity of the Stop will be reduced by the quantity of the first target.

This is all correct functioning.

If you are wanting separate stops that are at different positions related to each of the targets, then you would need to have 2 targets and 2 stops, where each stop is associated with a specific target through the OCO group.

Thank you! I do have to separate targets and stops with each having a different OCO Group 1 and 2. The 1st one is a 40 T target with a 76 Tick stop.That is OCO group 1. Group 2 is a 120 tick target and a 76 tick trail stop limit.

The 1st target when met, the SL stays open. Please advise, thank you

What Stop Loss is staying open? You have two stops at the same position (76 ticks away from entry), so it will show as 1 line but with a quantity of 2 (if you are displaying the quantity). When the first target fills, the quantity will change to 1.

We do not know what your rules are for the Trailing part of the Trailing Stop Limit, so we can not speak to when that moves. If it moves before the targets fill, then you should be seeing the two Stops separated. Otherwise, the above will apply.

If what we describe is not occurring, then please get us an image of your chart showing the remaining Target and Stops. Follow these instructions to get us an image:
