This issue was discussed by others in another recent thread, but my question was not answered there. When placing a Trailing Stop order from the Trading DOM how can I specify the Trail Offset as the number of ticks from the current market price. I find it difficult to enter an original Stop price, based on a specific Trail Offset, while the current market price is bouncing around, up and down, here and there, erratically. It's difficult because while using the drop-down field on the Trade Window, there are too many things I have to do: 1) I have to check the current market price. 2) I have to calculate the stop price, based on my preferred trail offset. 3) I have to scroll the drop-down window to the calculated stop price. 4) I have to select the stop price. 5) I have to submit the order. If the current market price changes while I'm performing those five tasks; then, I have to start all over again with the whole process. In other words, I need for SierraChart to calculate the original Stop price based on me providing a Trail Offset. Can this be done? If not, does anyone see that I'm I missing something about the placing of trailing stop orders with SierraChart? Thanks. |
