SC: I am using your *.twconfig ladder to trade off. How can I do a one click move of an order that is below or above the ladder range of prices that are currently in view? Right now to center the ladder I have to double click on it. I am asking to change that to a center button just below or near the BE button and then have the ability to left click on the ladder price and the software would read the market and see that we are now trading above my entry price and move my appropriate attached order bracket up to that price. I realize that I can use the breakeven to move to breakeven, but how about if I don't want to set an auto move once up so many ticks but rather choose based upon the chart where to move my order up to. Vice Versa, if we are trading below my entry price and I want to move my target down to my entry or maybe even 2 ticks below my entry, the software would read where the market is and move the appropriate attached bracket order to where I just clicked. I think it is too time consuming and I lose my focus on watching the market trade when I have to scroll the ladder, find the order, click on it and drag and drop it, instead of being able to just one click and the software moves the appropriate order based on where the market is trading and where I just clicked on the price on the ladder. Every other dom ladder I have seen does this. Would it be possible to add that as a feature in an update? This is a screenshot of what my ladder looks like now. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1500235782895.png As you can see, if I want to set a bracket that is 20 ticks away, the bracket attached orders would be off the screen and I would have to scroll the ladder up or down, find the order and then drag and drop it AS COMPARED to just one clicking on the price that I want the order to be moved to and the software reads my entry and where we are trading and moves the appropriate order to where I just clicked. I sure hope you can add this feature soon. It would really make it much easier to move orders, in my opinion. Thanks and good trading to you. |

For Target orders, this is available on the latest prerelease. There is a new shortcut menu command in Global Settings >> Customize Chart Trade Menu which can move Target orders to the selected price. We will add an identical command for Stop Attached Orders.

SC: When will this be out of prerelease and into the regular release? Also, will this change allow a one click change of the orders like I mentioned above?

This is part of version 1585 which is now the main release. will this change allow a one click change of the orders like I mentioned above? It is a right-click shortcut menu command.

SC: That is better, SC; but, how many times do you think a trader will right click and select 'move attached stop to price' and as a result close out the position when what they really wanted to do was select 'move targets to price'? I know that I will surely make that mistake in the heat of battle. The way I mentioned above would take the thinking out of the selection process. The software would read whether a trader was long or short and whether we are above or below the entry and then depending where he/she clicked on the ladder, the appropriate order -- either the target or the stop -- would be moved. It would take out the possibility of error, since the software would read the market and the position and the location on the ladder where the trader just one clicked and the correct order would be moved. The other dom I have used has this function. You could make it to where it only requires setting a global command to move the appropriate stop or target based upon where the entry price is and whether a trader is long or short, and where he/she just left clicked on the column where the buy/sell entry price is. Then once this global command is selected, the one left click feature would be active for that dom or globally. For example, say a trader is in a long at 47.00 in the CL. They have their stop set to 20 ticks and their target set to 20 ticks. Now the market moves down to 46.90 and rather than having to right click on the ladder and select the move target to price selection, the trader could just left click on that same column where they just right clicked when they want to select the move target to price feature and the dom software would automatically move the correct order to that price level. It takes the thinking out of the equation and lets the trader focus on the trade and the charts and not whether to select the 'move target to price' choice or the make the 'move attached stop to price' choice. I sure hope you will make this change. Thanks in advance. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-07-19 19:29:56

SC: I logged in with my Sierra Chart account like you requested above. But, I thought that was my Sierra Chart account I was using before to post to the boards. However, this is quicker and better. I am using the Sierra Dom to trade off of, so I enabled the reject stop orders that immediately fill per the instruction above. Do I need to also enable the reject chart trade orders that will immediately fill since I am not trading off the charts but off the dom? Or is that only to be enabled if I am trading off the charts and not off the dom? Sierra Charts are the best in my opinion. Thanks for the help. |

SC: To follow up on this request, I added the two features you listed above per the instructions on the links. Here are the links. https://www.sierrachart.comindex.php?page=docGlobalTradeSettings.html#RejectStopOrdersThatImmediatelyFill https://www.sierrachart.comindex.php?page=docGlobalTradeSettings.html#RejectChartTradeOrdersThatWillImmediatelyFill Then I tried it in sim. It did not reject the orders, instead the incorrect order was filled immediately and the trade was closed. Why? |
