Dear Support Team, I am experiencing an issue with attached orders and I would like to have them set up so they only activate when the trade is opened. I am doing high-frequency scalping and, in order to protect myself from irrational price spikes against my position, I have decided to place a precautionary stop-limit order 6 ticks away from my entry. However, the problem is that I often close the trade earlier (1-2 ticks before), and when I do so and manually place my limit order for closing, another attached stop-limit order is automatically placed. This doesn't happen when I use market orders, but it does when I use limit orders. The same issue occurs with my take-profit (TP) orders, as I place my TP order discretionally after the position is already open. Again, I get an unwanted attached order placed automatically. I hope I have explained myself clearly, despite my poor English. Thank you in advance for your support! |

When you are placing the secondary orders to close out the position you need to turn off the option for "Use Attached Orders". Refer to the following: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Use Attached Orders You can setup a Control Bar button and/or a Keyboard shortcut for that item. You could also use different Trade Configurations to setup the trade as you want it before placing it. Refer to the following: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Using and Changing Between Different Trade Window and Attached Orders Configurations For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
