I haven't found a way to enable attached orders to always be visible. Currently the attached orders only show on the screen after the parent order is entered as a buy or sell. It would be a useful tool to have the parent and attached orders always visible across multiple screens either in a different default color, or as a transparency until the order is actually placed. I would use this feature to set up a buy and sell order that would always be visible. I could then grab the order (either buy or sell) move to a price level, then select type of order entry desired, but I would always have the visual of the parent order and stop orders even before the trade was actually entered. Curious if there has been similar requests. I currently use the extended rectangle tool to provide a visual of my entry and target. Having the parent and attached orders always visible would speed up my decision making process... seems like a great improvement that would be useful for those of us who scalp choppy price action. |

As a clarification... what I'm looking for is a measuring tool that would represent the parent order and the attached orders. This could be achieved using the extended rectangle tool if it were possible to define a line within the rectangle that that would represent the parent order and the rectangle could be positioned and flipped about that line. Ideally, it would be nice to see the attached order itself, but I can envision the programming nightmare that may require. An added feature to the extended rectangle tool seems much easier, and would certainly serve my purposes. Great product... thanks for considering the request.

I hadn't seen this before I just posted a similar request ;-)

The RewardRisk tool doesn't provide the visual representation of the attached orders on the screen, which is what I was requesting. My current use of the extending rectangle for this purpose is suitable, but it can only represent the entry and the target. It would be helpful to have a similar tool that would also show the stop. The modification (as described above) to the extending rectangle tool would serve that purpose. There may not have been many requests, but anyone who uses attached orders would find such a tool useful. I've been a satisfied user for 3 years, and I've wanted such a tool from about week 1... maybe it's just me. i am constantly planning trades throughout the day... even when I'm in a trade, I'm planning the next one. The ability to define a line within the extending rectangle would be great... the ability to flip and position about that line not required. Making it as easy as I can. Thanks for the consideration of an improvement. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2013-10-21 15:45:24
