When using the Custom Trading Keyboard Shorcuts "Sell Trailing Stop" it seems to execute a market sell order, and not the trailing stop. However when executing a "Buy Trailing Stop" it works as expected. For instance, a market sell order is executed - price goes down in to profit - then execute a "Buy Trailing Stop" with the keyboard shortcut it instantiates the expected trailing stop with the offset from last price. But when doing the opposite and executing a "Sell Trailing Stop" to trail a long/buy position and immediately closes the position by executing a market sell, not a trail stop. I've attached pics here of the settings - is this a bug? I absolutely love this feature by the way, and Sierra Chart :) |

Since this is a Sell order, you need to enter the offset as a negative value (-20).
