Hi, Is there any way to show in attached orders the distance in ticks to the parent order(or position)? Attached orders show their price but cannot find how to show the distance in ticks to the parent. I know I can calculate it or I can use the chart calculator, but I'd like to know if the attached order can show the distance. Thank you. |

The attached orders are going to show the Profit/Loss as the type set in Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading >> Profit/Loss Format. So if you want them to display as Ticks, you would have to set this to Ticks, just keep in mind that this will change the Profit/Loss for both the Attached orders and the Parent. Refer to the information here: Chart Settings: Profit/Loss Format (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) 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: 2023-03-29 18:38:11

John, Thank you for your answer. Please see the two attached pictures. Following your indications, I configured P/L format to Ticks (T). Picture #1 shows the result of that: the parent position shows P/L in ticks, but the attached order shows no ticks info. On picture #2 the attached order shows the distance in ticks to the parent (what I wanted). The difference between #1 and #2 was that on #2 I clicked on the attached order to move it, and as I moved it I could see the distance. The result is the same if I have an open order or a position. What else can I config so the attached order shows always the distance to the parent, not only when I click on it? Thank you. |
