I must admit, I have read instructions over and over, but still getting confuse, was wonder if you could guys create a configuration file for 2 contracts with 30 tick stop, it will move to break even after 25 ticks were I will take my 1st contract out, 2nd contract will have a 100 ticks target, but after the move to BE, I want after that to have 30 ticks trailing stop for the last contract. I know sound lazy, but I already been working in loops for the last week and still cant figure it out. Thanks. |

Thanks for the help, however, everything works as expect it but the stop trail once first target is hit (25 ticks) after that stop should move to Break even, then wait another extra 30 ticks to move the trail stop 30 ticks for example: Let say I short CL today 42.25 (2 contracts) once it hits 42.00,my first contract goes out @42.00, second will move to break even at 42.25, after that it will take for CL to move 30 more ticks (42.70) for the trail stop to move to 41.95 (30 ticks trial stop). But what the configuration you sent me is doing is, moving 10 ticks trail stop after the 1st 25 ticks in my direction...I appreciate your help and effort. Thanks. |

Therefore you need to modify the Trigger Offset for the Triggered Trailing Stop: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_OrderTypes.html#TriggeredTrailingStop Take the time to learn how these order types work. This is not difficult. It is very simple. You can experiment with them using Chart Replays: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ReplayChart.html Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
