Trading multiple contracts with OCOs and canceling a parent entry order, seems to set off an alert for each order including the entry, stops, targets, and all pending child orders, for each number of contracts. This creates a long redundant alert sound queue of 'Order Cancelled' alerts where a single alert sound could do. Could you add the ability to just play a single alert sound for cancelling an entry order regardless of number of contracts and pending stops/targets? Also could you add an alert for a stop move to BE and an alert for each time a stop is trailed? These improvements would be extremely useful for trading. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-07-31 18:06:49

Also, it would be very useful to have a different alert for a stop out in loss, vs a trailed stop in profit.

Order alerts have no relationship at all to the quantity of an order. They are strictly based upon individual orders. So there is a misunderstanding about this. You can see all of your orders in Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Orders. If you have set an alert sound to played when an order has been canceled, any order that is canceled, will generate an alert. This will not change. Orders do not have a profit or loss attribute.

Thank you, understand about quantity vs individual orders and if you cannot change the option to only alert on all cancelled orders including pending childs. And understand if you cannot make a different alert for a trailed stop vs an initial stop being filled, but would be useful if you could add an alert for when a stop is moved and trailed.
