I don't know Meta Trader. In SC when I already have a position, and want to add a Stop and Target I create an OCO Limit and Stop Order, which you find in the drop down selection on the Trade Window main page, set your values for target and stop and submit the order. Order Types: OCO Limit and Stop If you initiated an order and it is not executed yet, I just delete it and create a new one with the attached order settings I'd like. Attached Orders |

Another option is the "Send Attached Orders - Position/Price". Refer to the following: Order Types: Send Attached Orders - Position/Price For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

You would have to determine how best to do that. Have a look at ACSIL: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study There is someone with a commercially available option for this for Sierra Chart, but we can never remember exactly who it is. If you search this Support Board, you should be able to find the reference to it.

So in meta trader it would be a partial close. I guess here a partial close would be a position. So if I open two position how would I close one separately without closing both? In addition the problem I am facing is once I open one trade at a certain price and then open another below it something happens. It appears that the trades merge and the stop loss isn’t where i respectively put it to be( the second trade causes this). In addition I am not sure if you are familiar with how trades work on meta trader ? On meta trader I am able to open a trade with its relative stop loss staying there, trades won’t merge. Example I’ll take trade on pair XYZ @1.000 then with stop loss @ 1.001 then I’ll take a second trade (an add on or increment) at 0.999 with stop loss at 1.000. In meta trader these trades will hold their relative entry and stops without merging. Sadly in sierra charts I noticed that my trades are merging. Hope this makes sense please let me know if you need further clarity Willing to further explain. |

With regards to the single price for the position, this is how Sierra Chart works. You will only ever have a single position line. Refer to the following, which also includes options for how the average price is determined: Trading Information Windows: How Average Price for Positions Is Calculated and Used With regards to the Stop and Target, if you want to add to your existing position and have the existing Stop and Target increase in their quantity, rather than having new, separate Stop and Target, then you need to use the "Scale In" option. Refer to the following: Attached Orders: Scaling In Also be aware of the Scale Out option which is documented just above the Scaling In section.
