If i enter with 3 positions and i use a common stop, how can i scale out of two positions at fixed points (target#1 and #2) and allow the third position to run. I assume i cannot use OCO type orders for only 2 out the three positions ? How do you suggest this scenario be handled? enter limit orders yourself and use a common stop or use OCO with 3 targets and common stop and then either move or cancel the third target ? Thank you |

Do you mean, entering the market, with a single order of quantity of 3?

Should not be a problem. It is just simply a common Stop, and three different targets: Attached Orders: Multiple-Bracket Example The above example is for two targets but you can adapt it to three targets. You definitely will want three targets and the third target can just be set far away. You will want to use a quantity of 3 for the common stop, and the parent order. Should not be any issue with this even with live trading. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

With the OCO order type are you able to have only 2 targets with stop quantity of 3 or does it now allow for this because the target a and stops have to equal each other ? The way i was able to set it up was without an OCO order just stop and two targets; but not OCO. Is this type of order i am decribing only on client (my) side ? |

We recommend setting this up using 3 target orders. The third target order put it far away.

Thank you for your help and suggestions. I have 2 add'l related questions: 1) What is the best way to quickly move around the limit orders/targets using the mouse. I have the stop being able to move easily with the lift click of the mouse. i am using the right click for placing a buy/sell stop order right now. I would like to be able to move the targets/primarily the third target easily with the mouse. 2) If i use 3 lot (quantity 3) to for all in at 3 lots and the scale out with 1 lots at 3 targets. Is there a way to have the trade window revert back to a quantity of 1 automatically ? or do i have to manually switch from quantity 3 to quantity one. I am able to add one more lot and stop without having to change the attached order and also the quantity. Thank you |

1) You can left-click on an order and move the line. It sounds like this is what you are doing with the Stop. Are you having a problem doing this with a Target (the process works the same). 2) There is not a way to make the quantity "automatically" change. But the "Trade Configurations" are what are to be used for this. You can select a trade configuration that is setup for the 1 lot so it is just a matter of selecting the configuration, which can be done with a Keyboard Shortcut or Control Bar button.

what i would like to do is move the last target, for example, by clicking on the price ladder at the price i would like to move it to. as opposed to clicking on it and then "sliding" it up and down to the desired price. so that the order can jup to that price level. that is how i have set up my stop order. Thank you |

There are right-click and keyboard shortcuts for "Move Stops to Price" and "Move Targets to Price", but in these cases it is all the Stops and All the Targets. There is not an option for a single Target. But another option is to click on the quantity for the working order, which will give you a window with the Quantity and Price, where you can adjust the price by typing in the value. Exactly what you are looking for would require a custom study.

is there a way to choose an attached order by creating an entry on the control bar or is the only way to change it by selecting it on the dropdown menu of the Trade window (attached orders dropdown) ?

We do not understand the question. Select an Attached Order for what purpose?

Can i create a control button or shortcut to select one if several saved attached order templates from the trade menu ? Or can i only select one using the dropdown in the trade menu itself ?

I tried looking this up in the support board but could not find exactly how to do this. I also tried to experiment with the control bars/trade window. Would you be able to point me on instructions on how to do this. Thank you |
