We tried to configure the following automated strategy but it did not work:

I open position of three contracts, initial protective stop loss set at 8 ticks for all three contracts. 2 contracts have profit target of 4 ticks. When this target is met, I want stop loss for third contract moved to break even, and the third contract becomes a runner with no set profit target in the configuration.

Can you tell me how to configure?

Thanks !

For the Stop 2 order you need to set the Move to Breakeven settings as explained here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_AttachedOrders.html#MoveBreakevenForStop

So you need to select Stop 2 on the list of Attached orders on the Targets tab and set the settings as required.
