I am only able to successfully place one order every time I login to Sierra Chart. After the first order, all orders fail instantly stating that an order modification was unsuccessful (I lose several hundred dollars during each time). I have to completely logout, shutdown the software, and reopen it to get another order to go through properly.

We would need to see your "Trade Service Log" after you have this occur so we can see exactly what is stated in there. Follow these instructions to get us the log:
Support Board Posting Information: Providing Lines From Trade Service Log

Also, we would need to understand the exact workflow of what you are doing when this occurs. Did you open a position, then close it and then you can not open another. Or are you having trouble adding to an already open position? Or is it something else?

The workflow is as follows:
1. Open a new position
2. Wait for the position to resolve (TP or SL)
3. Open next position
- I immediately get the error and lose approximately $500

Here is the Service log as requested:

We cannot help with this. We do not provide any support for Rithmic trading issues:

Rithmic Trading Platform Service: Rithmic Support Policy

This is strictly a Rithmic issue. It is not an issue with Sierra Chart at all. This is impossible.

I have to completely logout, shutdown the software, and reopen it to get another order to go through properly.
The most you would have to do is simply reconnect with File >> Reconnect.
