Sierra Chart does use the price given with the market order to determine what the actual prices are for the Target and Stop orders when offsets are specified for the Target and Stop orders. However, when the parent order fills, the Target and Stop prices will be updated to maintain the same offsets they had originally to the parent order price. So it is perfectly fine to calculate the prices ahead of time, and they will be updated on the parent fill. So be sure to specify a Price1 with the market order to ensure the offsets are calculated and will be maintained on a parent order fill. It does not matter if any of the order prices are correct. It is the relationship between them that counts. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-07-24 20:26:51
