[Locked] - Stop Limit Offset

I have set a Stop Limit Offset to 1 Tick for Parent/Attached orders, but when I place say a BUY STOP LMT order, the limit offset keeps showing as 3 Ticks (in Price 2) rather than 1 Tick. So planned BUY STP at 56.00 with LMT at 56.01 appears in trade orders log as 56.00 (Price) and 56.03 (Price 2). I cannot find a field or setting to amend that has the mystery "3 tick offset"? The SET menu for Stop Limit Offsets is set to 1 Tick for parent and attached orders.

Tried this and has not made any difference/changes. Trade Windows all set to same settings.

OK have narrowed down further. STP LMT works for other futures symbols, I am having issue with CL symbol with IB. Using same Trade Window, ES and GC work fine and can amend Offset Stop Limit value. As soon as I select CL-201910-Nymex (Oct) the offset stops working (does not respond to changes) and has fixed value of 3 ticks. This is using the same Trade Window as ES and GC which both work and respond to changing the offset value. Cannot see any figures in Symbol Settings that would cause this. If I bring up fresh trade window in new workbook - same results.

Make sure you are actually using a Stop Limit order. How are you submitting this order? And the other thing is are you noticing this problem with the parent order or the Attached Orders?

Yes to Stop Limit. Submitting via Trade DOM. This is for Parent Order i.e. entry trade. This afternoon, the offset has now changed from 3 ticks to 1 tick. This would be good (as it now matches the menu setting) except that it does not respond to changes so there is still something not correct (and not sure what made it change v yesterday). The Trade DOM / stop limit works correctly for orders on other instruments, it just seems to be CL.

This morning, now getting random offset values, and in wrong direction (so offset appears as +8 ticks on order instead of -1 ticks as per trade menu settings). Assistance appreciated please. Still only on CL.

Could we call you today at the telephone number you have set here?: https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=ManageAccountInfo We would like you to demonstrate this issue so we can understand what is happening. Also it is not possible to use a negative offset for a Stop-Limit order. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

We apologize for not yet reaching you. We have been quite busy. The easiest thing will be for you to give us the information we need. When you have the problem, what we want to get from you, is the line from the Trade Activity Log showing the entry of the order. It will contain the text "User order entry".

See attached. Issue is STP LMT order does not reflect the 1 tick differential I have set (Trade Window). Order on DOM/chart at 60.45 shows LMT 60.27 when it should be 60.46? The previous orders in log show that it is random, so first order had BUY 60.50 and 60.29 (instead of 60.50 and 60.51) and the SELL at 60.20 had 60.26 (instead of 60.20 and 60.19)?

That screenshot definitely does not contain the information needed or requested. And also the problem can only the following possibilities: You are not using a Stop-Limit order originally, the offset is not set correctly, or it is being modified by the trading service.
