Attached orders disappearing

View Count: 801

I've been suffering intermittent connectivity issues which occasionally results in attached (stop / target) orders on open positions disappearing from my screen. The orders themselves apparently still remain active, but I can no longer see them or manage them through sierra chart. In one recent instance, after the stop/target on a position disappeared from my screen, I exited a position manually, only to come back later and find that one of the invisible attached orders had been executed, and I was now in a naked position I did not intend to have.

Please help me figure out what is making these orders disappear from my charts so that I can continue to see and manage my positions. Thank you.

The first step is to see if you see the orders in the Trade >> Trade Orders Window:
Trading Information Windows: Trade Orders Window

And also what your reporting is basically unheard of when using CQG. This is the kind of garbage we see when someone is using Interactive Brokers.

Maybe we were not entirely clear. In post #2 we said:

So do you see the orders there?

Yes. The orders do appear in the trade orders window, and as I mentioned in the original post, they remained active and executed after disappearing from my screen. The issue is not about orders being canceled; the issue is that the orders stopped being displayed on my screen despite still being live.

Therefore, follow the instructions here to view those orders on the chart:
Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Viewing Orders and Trade Position on the Chart / Trade DOM

The orders may not be within the current view of the price range of the chart.

Perhaps I was unclear. I will try to explain the situation again.

I was trading from the chart, as I regularly do. The position and orders were displayed on the chart, and all were well within the price range of the chart. I saw them, I was able to modify them, etc. just as I always do.

Then, I experienced an interruption in the data feed, and when the connection was reestablished, those orders disappeared from the chart. The position was still shown on the chart, but the attached target and stop orders were no longer being displayed. These orders remained active, remained within the price range of the chart, and then executed, all while no longer being displayed. The problem, once again, was these live orders, which had been displayed on my chart a moment earlier, were suddenly and inexplicably no longer being displayed.

I will say again that this does not happen every time the connection breaks, but has occurred on on at least four separate occasions. It also caused me a trade error, when I manually exited an open position, believing the attached orders had been cancelled since they were no longer shown in the chart display, only to find out later that the invisible order was still live and then was executed, entering me into a new position while I was away from the desk.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here but if not please ask me what it is I need to clarify.

Check the Symbol and Trade Account of those orders in the Trade Orders Window which you do not see on the chart and expect to. They need to match those corresponding settings in the chart.

Yes of course symbol and account are correct, if they were not then the POSITION would not also still be displayed.

As I said, the position was still being correctly displayed on the chart. The symbol was correct. The account was correct. The attached orders were within the displayed chart price range. They just disappeared from the chart after a connection to the data feed broke. As I also said, after the connection was reestablished I was again able to trade in this chart, enter new orders - which were displayed - but the previously entered orders that had disappeared, despite still remaining active, were no longer being displayed on the chart.

No that is not true.

What is the exact symbol of those orders and the trade account of those orders and the symbol of the chart and the trade account the chart is set to. And also what is the Price1 field of those orders.

We just do not know any of this information. You also need to then provide us an image of the chart.

Once again here is the relevant full documentation:

Next time it happens I'll try to get a screenshot.

But in all honesty I feel like I'm running around in circles here and this certainly does not make me want to buy yet another "service" from sierrachart

You are not using a service from Sierra Chart. You are using CQG!

Also, this whole thing is very unusual anyway. We have identified the relevant fields which can cause a problem. So you have the ability to determine what the issue is. We do not know.

The reason we developed the Sierra Chart order routing service is to solve all of the problems we see with all of these external services and provide a unified way of doing things. Refer to:
Year 2019 for Sierra Chart
