I use OCO orders to make my trades on the chart. Once the entry gets filled I have several targets and a stop loss order. I would like to be able to convert the targets or the stop to a market order easily like Right Click on the order line > Convert to Market Order... or something along those lines. Does Sierra have a feature like that or is there some kind of method that I can achieve the same functionality? If not it would be nice if we have a little button on the order line (like the X button to cancel the order)... but this one is the "M" icon to convert to market. That would be far faster than right click for sure. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-04-08 02:34:39

The easiest way to convert the Stop/Limit orders to a Market Order is to move the order Above/Below the current price. At that point, the current Market price is better than what is set for that order and it will fill at the market price. Otherwise, there is not a way to convert a Stop/Limit to a Market order. But, keep in mind there is the Flatten option which will put in an opposing market order for your position and clear the attached orders. This gives the same effect, unless you are not wanting to clear the full position. Refer to the following regarding Flatten: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Flatten (Flatten and Cancel) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
