Changing Target Size Leaves Incorrect Target/Stop

Using an OCO with 5 targets. Once filled, if I change individual target amounts via the New Quantity and Price window from the DOM , leaving the total contracts the same, when the stop is hit, all orders are cancelled correctly, but it still shows me with a position. If I scale into the position, half at a time, and do the same target size adjustment described above, when stopped out, it correctly shows me flat, but leaves a target order. Only when I leave all original orders alone, does the complete OCO order behave correctly. Stumped?? |

We need more details. And a very specific example we can follow. As simple as possible that still shows the problem. We need to know the order quantities and specifically what orders you are adjusting. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I created a 5 target, one stop OCO; each target is two contracts. When I adjust quantities on two targets in the DOM (keeping the total contracts constant - adjusting one target down, and the other up by the same amount), after a target is filled, and then the stop is hit, I am either left with an 'orphan' target, or no orders and a position. I have tried this with all in (one order), or scaling in half and half - same problem.

We understand this better now and what you are experiencing is normal behavior because each of the 5 targets establishes a separate OCO Group. So if you increase the quantity of a Target in its OCO group but the stop has a lower quantity, it is going to cause the Target to still remain when the stop fills.

Actually, as we think about this, there is a simple solution. On the Trade Window for the chart or Trade DOM enable Menu >>Maintain Same Quantity for OCO Group Orders.

Will this work if I scale in, say half and half?

It's hard for us to say because we do not have a clear enough understanding of specifically what you are doing. Just simply try.
