I am attempting to setup Attached Orders through the Trade Window. Currently, the issue remains with the following attached orders setup (screenshots provided - should be in order of reference): Working correctly - Two targets w/ common stop. The targets are in separate OCO groups (1&2) and the Stop is set to ALL OCO Groups. This configuration is saved using a total of 2 contracts and works fine. Stop Quantity = 2, Target 1 Quantity = 1 and Target 2 Quantity = 1. See attached screenshot. This saved configuration even works when I change the Total Quantity to three (3) - see attached screenshot. NOT Working as I Need it To - When I change the Total Quantity of contracts (ES) to something other than 2 or 3, the target totals are not what I want (remember, I want my runner quantity to stay at 1, no matter the number of contracts traded - unless I manually change it once in a trade). See last two screenshots. I suspect the answer has been observed by someone before with a relatively easy fix. I am sure this can be accomplished. I appreciate your time and efforts! |

The solution to a problem like this is that you need to save a different Trade Window configuration for each parent order quantity and Attached Order configuration that you want. The way that Sierra Chart is going to distribute the parent order quantity across Attached Orders may not be as you want, when changing the quantity. Here is the documentation for saving and switching between Trade Window configurations: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_TradeWindow.html#TradeWindowConfigurations Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

That's an easy enough fix for me. Was just concerned that it worked when I changed the order quantity to three(3) but not anything higher. I appreciate your support and fast response! |

Hi, I didn't even realize you could change the quantity of the atm using the quantity buttons before the order is placed, but I agree with scunagin, it would be nice feature if it changed according to how you have the scaling set for the simple reason the buttons are much faster than the drop down menu and also it's easy to click on the wrong atm when in a hurry. And/or maybe buttons you could assign atm's to? Just food for thought, thanks again.
