Thank you for the Trade Activity Log. We see that you are entering the Target and Stop orders as separate orders and not as Attached Orders. They must be entered as Attached Orders to get the OCO functionality that you expect. Refer to the documentation here for instructions: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_AttachedOrders.html 1. July 6th 2015. I had a short position from around $53.90 with my target (buy limit) at around $53.
The buy limit didn't execute and my position remained open untile the price went down to $52.50, then I closed the position manually. The line shows the short position was established at 54.21 and not 53.90: Fill 2015-07-06 13:42:05.003 [Sim]USOil Trade simulation fill. Bid: 54.21 Ask: 54.26 Last: 54.24 531 531 Market 1 Sell Filled 54.21 1 Sim1 Open -1 531.1
This line shows that the Buy Limit order was entered at 53.80 and not 53: Order 2015-07-06 13:45:40.000 [Sim]USOil USOil #6 | User order entry | Last: 54.34 533 Limit 1 Buy 53.80 Order Sent Sim1 Close -1 2. July 7th 2015. I had a short position from around $52.20 with my target (buy limit) at around $51.50. The buy limit did execute offsetting the short position but I remained long on the market, with a buy order I closed manually before the market went down. In this case I had a daily P/L of 0.60 points but after I closed the long I was at 0.08 points. You say that the Buy Limit executed offsetting the short position. So how is it that you could remain long the market with a buy order? That does not make sense. In any case, we think we know what you are trying to say and using Attached Orders properly will solve this. In regards to problems with Daily Profit/Loss, as a matter of policy we do not undertake the analysis to answer a question about that. In any case we do not have the information to analyze that in this Trade Activity Log. Refer to this help topic: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_DailyProfitLossValue.html The buy limit didn't execute and my position remained open untile the price went down to $52.50,
In regards to this, we need a video. The Trade Activity Log does not provide information about this. However, there must be some misunderstanding or something not correct which was done. Our recommendation is to let this be until you see the problem continuously and then we need a video to explain why you are seeing what you do.
