[Programming Help] - How to setup custom bracket/OCO order?

Hi,

I recently started using Sierrachart and I've read a lot of documentation on the site.
However, I'm still having a hard time configuring a custom bracket/OCO order strategy, and I wonder if it's even possible with Sierrachart.

What I want is this:

When I enter for example a buy limit order @ 2250 (ES example), I want the following to automatically happen (attach):

- full stop @ -6 ticks from entry price.
- first 50% profit target @ +3 ticks from entry price.
- when first 50% profit target is reached, move full stop from -6 ticks to -3 ticks from entry price.
- second 50% profit target @ +5 ticks from entry price.

Then I want to be able to SAVE this configuration, so I can use it every day.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Maurice

Use the attached Trade Window Configuration file.


Here are instructions to use this:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Using a Trade Window Configuration File Provided to You

You can rename this file to whatever you want.

Just make sure the file extension remains the same.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I did that and I'm a bit further now.

What's left is this:

How to automatically move my full stop from -6 ticks (initial value) to -3 ticks from entry price when the first target is reached?

Is there a video or so that shows how to configure 2 or 3 tier exit strategies?

Regards,
Maurice

The Trade Window Configuration file we provided does do this currently:

Here is a video which may help:

I know this is an old post, but I am looking for a custom bracket. I am doing a lot of ATR Reversion Trades (using a 5 min Wilders Moving Average with a length of 14) and would like a bracket that automatically calculates my Stop and Take Profit brackets

For Long Trades
Target Limit @ (Entry Price + 80% ATR)
Enter Long Price
Stop @ (Entry Price - 120% ATR)

For Short Trades
Stop @ (Entry Price + 120% ATR)
Enter Short Price
Target Limit @ (Entry Price - 80% ATR)

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance

In order to get the Target and Stop to a level defined by a study, you would use the "Trade Management by Study" study. Refer to the following:
Attached Orders: Study Controlled Targets and Stops

You would need two copies, one for the Target and one for the Stop.
