Hi, I am testing out a system using a step for 2 contracts and 2 different targets. I have the targets set at 15 ticks and the other at 30 ticks. I just woke up and found the fills for the targets were 28 and 30. Just wondering what's going on with that. Also, yesterday I was trying to set a target of 15 and then a trailing stop. For some reason if the price turned and hit my stop it would stop me out of one position but the other continued losing money. I could not figure that out. I read everything I could about stops, trailing stops, OCO's etc and no luck, so I gave up and just went with 2 targets and that's not working right. Help me please. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=15574063091.png Jon |

I just woke up and found the fills for the targets were 28 and 30. Was Sierra Chart running at all times and connected to the data feed when these orders were working?Refer to: Trade Simulation: Why Fill and Order Prices Can Be Wrong or Unexpected / Orders Do Not Fill When Expected For some reason if the price turned and hit my stop it would stop me out of one position but the other continued losing money. It sounds like the Stop order quantity was not equal to the Position quantity.

I got it all figured out as far as the targets and stops going. I did have the OCO configurations wrong. And I had my computer shut down overnight so it stopped my positions out when I fired up the computer the next morning. |
