Is this what you're referring to?:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSILTrading.html#SCNewOrderMaximumChaseAsPrice
When using a Limit Chase order type for the main order, not an Attached Order, this specifies the maximum chase amount.

Specify the maximum chase amount as an actual price value and not in Ticks. For example, if you want the maximum chase amount to be 2.0, then set this to 2.0.

I'm using Limit Chase as my main parent order, so used an actual price with this:
NewOrder.MaximumChaseAsPrice= Price + 8*sc.TickSize;
I'm trying to chase the market only 8 ticks max, so if I'm slipped by a large amount, I don't want to chase the market anymore. "Price" is the "sc.Ask" value that I passed-in.

However in the trade window GUI, I see that it is supposed to be set using relative ticks:

I'm sorry if that isn't what you were referring to, but I didn't notice anything else on the ACSILTrading.html page that I should have noted.
