[Programming Help] - Triggered trail stop didn't trigger

Hi,

I placed a triggered trail stop order (with BE also) and NO target for a ticker called OOMA (US equity)

The order buy entry was at 11.99 and 'trigger offset' and 'BE level offset' were both at 32 ticks.

However when the price reached 12.31 (i.e. 32 ticks up) neither the BE nor the triggered trail stop were triggered and my stop loss remained at the original distance away (i.e. 32 ticks as well)

Could you please look into this as I am planning to deploy this order type often?

I was connected to the IB and all orders are managed by SC.

Screenshot is attached.

We tested this and could not reproduce the issue.

Update to the current version of Sierra Chart:

Software Download: Fast Update

This would not be relevant but do not use this setting with Interactive Brokers:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Use Server Side Bracket Orders (if supported) (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)

Ok thanks. Do I need to be logged into both SC and IB for things to work smoothly? It may have been that I went to sleep and IB got disconnected (not with SC) but just got logged out
