if i have an attached stop and i want to move the order i click on the order, move it up or down and then click again to reposition it at new price. Is there any other way to move it (for example by clicking on the price you want to move it to ?) Also if I have multiple lots and i try move the stop up or down i can only move one stop order at a time as opposed all of them at once ? Is there a way to move all the stop orders together ? also a couple of times my position was stopped out as i was moving the a stop order; perhaps there are limits to how far you can move the order ? Could you try to explain what may be happening here. I think one time the order may have been touched by price as i was moving it. another time however i was moving it away from price and it triggered (? too far away) Thank you Steven Leon |

Have a look at this command: Order Types: Move Attached Stops to Price perhaps there are limits to how far you can move the order ? No, there are no limits but the exchange can reject a stop order or modification of the stop.Contact your broker for help for this: Could you try to explain what may be happening here. I think one time the order may have been touched by price as i was moving it. another time however i was moving it away from price and it triggered (? too far away)

I have another question regarding attached stops. Just want to see if you have any suggestions or ways around this. If I have an attached stop alone (without using an OCO order) and i want to set a target after trade has been initiated (position is on); if i place a limit order - that limit order will also have the same stop attached to it. Is there anyway that the second order after position is open does not get an attached order to it ? Thank you Steven Leon |

You just need to deselect the option for "Use Attached Orders" on the Trade Window prior to placing the second order. Refer to the following: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Use Attached Orders You can also accomplish this by having different Trade Window Configurations, for which you can also assign keyboard shortcuts. Refer to the information at the following link: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Using and Changing Between Different Trade Window and Attached Orders Configurations For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

We assume you want the Limit order you are submitting after establishing the position to be part of the same OCO group as the Stop is? You will need to resubmit the Attached Orders.

Thank you very much for the follow up I added both of these commands to my Trade menu I have experimented using them but I am not understanding it completely i am using just an attached stop order. So that Use attached orders is checked off. Once my order gets filled, my attached order becomes active If i try to Send attached order by price another Stop order is attached based on the price where i click/select If I try to Send attached order by position then it places an attached stop order based on my psition Ideally what I was trying todo was to place a limit order as a target for my position after my order is filled ? Not sure if this is feasible. I realize I can uncheck the box after the trade is on but wanted to see if i could get around that. What I am trying to do is avoid having attached stops for every limit order i place after the position is filled and having to check or uncheck the box A few other housekeeping question I had : 1) on Trade DOM is there a way to use a cursor or mainly the grid lines ? 2)I there a way to manually add a label to the Label Column on the Trade DOM 3) I noticed that on my detached windows see the control bars (along the top) or the names of the charts that are in the chart book along the bottom. Not sure if this can be done ? Thank you for your help. Steven Leon |

You can do what you are wanting, you just need to change the attached order to a Target before sending it. Play with it in Simulation mode to get the feel/understanding. 1. Just the Gridlines. There is no support for the use of a cursor in the Trade DOM. 2. Not directly, but you could use the Horizontal Lines study and set the subgraphs that you want to use as a "Label" to Subgraph Name and Value Label Only. Then set the price you want the label to display for the line price and set the label options as you want them. Refer to the following for the Horizontal Lines study: Horizontal Lines And refer to the following for the Draw Style of Subgraph Name and Value Label Only: Chart Studies: Subgraph Name and Value Labels Only (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_SUBGRAPH_NAME_AND_VALUE_LABELS_ONLY) And refer to the following for help with the Name and Value Labels: Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Name and Value Labels 3. You can control the position of the Control Bar. Refer to the following: Control Bar: Moving and Detaching the Control Bar We are not sure what you are asking in terms of the Chartbooks and Charts tabs, but refer to the settings for these at this link: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GeneralSettings.html#WindowAndChartbookTabs For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

1) so that means you would have an attached stop order which gets activated when a position filled; at that point i would have to switch the attached order to a target order and the Send target order from position or price ? Is that what you are saying ? 2) On the last point i was referring to the MDI window tabs at the bottom on a detached window ? Probably not relevant. Thank you |

Yes, that is what we are saying, but we said that because we thought it was what you wanted to do. If we are missing something, let us know. On the last point i was referring to the MDI window tabs at the bottom on a detached window ? Probably not relevant.
You can not have any MDI tabs on a detached window, as you can not detach a Chartbook, just charts and spreadsheets. So we are not understanding the question. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

The only reason i am bring this up is because i was using Jigsaw before. Two features that they have that i used were clicking on a price column to create a limit order without the attached order without having to uncheck attach order box. You could send a buy/sell order with stop order and then place the limit order wherever you wanted without another attached order. With SC you can achieve this but you either have to uncheck the attached orders or Send Attached Order. Both of which are fine but practically involve potentially serve additional steps. I try not to place a stop order at all but like to be able to do that as a safety or catastrophic stop. I also wanted to mention for completeness the only other feature that is nice with Jigsaw is that you move the target and stop orders more easily by simply clicking on the price ladder price above or below the order with a single click as opposed to using Move stop order function. I am quite happy with SC Trade DOM. I think it allows for more flexibility and configuration than Jigsaw but wanted to make you aware of where i was coming from in case you might consider making some of these modification. As always. Thank you for your great help. Have a good weekend Steve |
