Post From: Auto-set Prices Offset for OCO Buy Sell Orders

Please see image. Unless I am confused, this doesn't appear to be functioning as I expected. To prove the point I set the value of 1000. But on screen, the potential orders are not 1000 ticks apart, they are a few ticks.

EDIT: resolved: you need to use the "OCO Buy Stop Sell Stop (Auto-Set)" order type. I was using the order type without Auto-Set in the chart trade menu. If it is ok I will leave this post in case it helps others searching for the same thing.


Order Types: OCO Buy Stop Sell Stop
The Sierra Chart Chart Trading feature also provides an OCO Buy Stop Sell Stop Auto Set command. To use this, it is first necessary to determine the offset for the orders, in Ticks, from the center price that you select on the chart. Go to the Set tab on the Trade Window of the chart and set the Auto-Set Prices Offset for OCO Buy Sell Orders to the number of Ticks that you want to offset the orders from the center price by. Once this is set, it does not need to be set again. It is saved with your Chartbook.
