Hello. This is a specific question. When I set an order limit on the DOM I have an automatic stop loss limit with attached order (picture 1). I would like to set a target manually by myself but when I do this (picture 2, I buy the 4470 and I want to exit at 4471.50 ) with a sell limit order, there is automaticly a stoploss limit which appears (at 4474) because I use attached orders. So my question is : it is possible when a put an order limit to have a SToploss limit (like pic 1), and secondly to set by myself an exit order (buy or sell limit depending if I'm long or short) but without an automatic stop loss (like picture 3)? I hope everything is clear ... Thank you very much best regards Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-08-29 09:56:32

The first thing is to simply try what you want. While in Simulation mode see if you can put on an order with just a Stop and then add a Limit for profit later. The answer is, that it can be done. But, by doing it this way, you are not creating an OCO order, therefore when the position is closed by one or the other of the Stop/Target, then the other one is going to remain until you manually close it. This could lead to another order being opened if the price moves to that level before you close it.

Really the best thing is to use both a Target and Stop order initially and then just modify the limit order to what you need later. You can set the target faraway. Otherwise, when you enter the limit order, you need to disable Use Attached Orders: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Use Attached Orders Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
