I use attached orders STOP/TARGET with my entries. When holding a position past the close, those attached orders are stripped away. After the market reopens, I'll manually add a buy/sell STOP but then the Trade Management by Study does not recognize these orders. I get the following message... "The found Stop/Target order is not in an Open/Held state." Two questions: 1) Why are working orders removed after market close? Can this behavior be modified? 2) Is there a way to re-add my bracket order after market reopen that is respected by the Trade Management by Study? |

Thanks for the quick reply. #1 TIF I changed from Day to Good till Cancelled. #2 I had to add "Send Attached Orders by Price/Position" to the chart trade menu in order to send a bracket order for a live order. However, this did not solve the issue with the Trade Management by Study working with this new bracket order. I tested this by cancelling the existing working orders for a live order entered with an attached order. I then manually used Send Attached Orders by Price, which worked, but now I'm getting a slightly different message in the message log (see below). And it is not trailing my stop like it does if it was a "natively" initiated attached order.

Update: I figured it out. I set the Trade Management by Study "Attached Order to Manage" from OCO Group 1 to Nearest and then it started to work.
