"When you say it "jumps back", what is causing that?"


What it was doing was, let's say the moving average was 50 ticks away, but the OCO attached orders was set to 20 ticks. The profit target would initially appear at 20 ticks away, then go to the moving average at 50 ticks away, but then at the next bar close go back to the original location of 20 ticks away and then stop following the MA.


I did not look into the log as I figured out how to stop it. My trade window is not attached in my standard workspace, and the one I was using to enter the trade was from another chart. Once I opened a trade window in the chart that had the "Trade Management By Study" on it, it works as designed. I played with it some today, the orders from the correct chart work, but if I add from another chart those are ignored.

Sierra is great and has what I need already built in almost every time I look hard enough. :) Thanks.
