is there a manual breakeven button on the trade window? if so how to activate? also want to be able to preset and save the breakeven offset for this manual breakeven button.

I seldom use this because I put my stop at a price that invalidates my trade and adjust it below/above a pivot point as price moves in my favor. If Sierrachart adds this, I hope there is an option to show or hide this button. As an alternative, Sierrachart could add this command in Customize Keyboard Shortcuts like what I use to buy on bid plus 1 tick or sell at ask minus 1 tick.

Here is an excellent example(bracket trader)http://screencast.com/t/wxbOxPlSlWU of manual buttons available for easy quick access on a trade window.These buttons only become available after an order is filled.No need to go to the dom or chart to adjust your trade.that way your focus is on reading the market with quick access to buttons to modify your trade.B/E stop,widen stop,tighten stop,increase target and decrease target buttons are all available to modify trade.There is a preset for the b/e stop offset(like b/e +1 tick) so when you hit the b/e stop button your stop is modified to this postion.Also a very cool feature is deactivating the "widen stop" button for those of us who can't help ourselves and want to widen a stop when the market is going against us.this is a great way to "cure" this very bad habit.There are many reasons not to use the chart or dom at times to modify your orders and having quick easy simple buttons is a necessary feature.tia
