Dear Support Board.

Can anyone help with the above?

I've read
How add stop-limit loss / target profit to an already filled order?
and
Order Types: Sending Attached Orders from a Chart or Trade DOM

... but when I right click "Send Attached Orders by Position or Send Attached Orders by Price" the order is not located at the chart price it was selected on. The attached Orders are in-place but not equidistance as you'd expect or as the text suggests?

Many thanks

When you use "Send Attached Orders by Position" it is going to place the Attached Orders offset from the open position by the amounts specified for those attached orders on the Trade Window.

When you use "Send Attached Orders by Price" it is going to place the Attached orders offset from the Price that is specified for this option (or the price that the pointer is located if right-clicking and selecting "Send Attached Orders by Price") by the amounts specified for those attached orders on the Trade Window.
