I used the customization facility to add Buy, Sell, Flatten, and Cancel buttons to the control bar. They look pretty but don't actually do anything. What am I missing? Thanks.

If they are not functioning, then you should be getting a notice in your Message Log telling you the issue. In particular, you need to be on a chart that has Chart Trade Mode On and you need to have the option for Trade >> Trading Keyboard Shortcuts Enabled. Refer to the following: Trade Menu: Chart Trade Mode On (Trade menu) And the following: Trade Menu: Trading Keyboard Shortcuts Enabled (Trade menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Per its custom, the latest Windows update bombed my setup. Reconstructed SC as I want it. The control bar now has large buttons for BUY, SELL, FLATTEN, CANCEL ALL, and STOP TO BE. Four of them work. FLATTEN does not. Any ideas? Thanks.

That option does not work in Simulation mode. Are you using it for Live trades or Simulation? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-03-24 16:43:22
