Multiple Orders in same direction - Order association display

Hi John,

I often take multiple clips / trades in the same direction. When doing so, and when managing the Stops and Targets for each individual Clip it becomes a challenge to see which Order is associated to which Stop and Target (In spite of having the “Order Association Lines” option set to “Yes”).

I work with the LIFO Execution method. I often end up taking 3 Clips in the same direction and it becomes a challenge to manage the Stops and Targets for each of those Clips

Question / Need –

1) Is it possible to name each Clip and its associated Stop and target orders separately? E.g. somewhere in the Order Information line it needs to mention EntryClip1, StopClip1, Target1Clip1, Target2Clip1, Target3Clip 1, Target4Clip1. The same logic to apply for the Second Clip i.e. EntryClip2, StopClip2, Target1Clip2, Target2Clip2, Target3Clip2, Target4Clip 1

2) Is it possible to have separate colors for the Order association lines for the Stops and Targets associated with each Clip i.e. For Clip 1 color could be “Yellow” and for Clip 2 color could be “White”?

Current Display of Orders           
  Direction Entry   Stop   Target1   Target2   Target3
Clip1  Short   6063.5  (-12t)TQ:4,2  (+14t),2  (+30t),1  (+48t),1
Clip2  Short   6062.5  (-8t)TQ:4,2  (+17t),2  (+34t),1  (+52t),1
            
Expected Display of Orders        
  Direction Entry  Stop   Target1   Target2   Target3
Clip1  Short   Clip16063.5  Clip 1(-12t)TQ:4,2  Clip 1(+14t),2  Clip 1(+30t),1  Clip 1(+48t),1
Clip2  Short   Clip26062.5  Clip2(-8t)TQ:4,2  Clip2(+17t),2  Clip2(+34t),1  Clip2(+52t),1


The screenshot has an example of 2 clips of 4 Lots each - Short Trades in the same direction (The screenshot is a plain vanilla Chart. During execution I have a lot more lines drawn on my execution Chart)

Kind Regards

Both of these would be feature requests. There is nothing in the system that currently does these.

We take all suggestions, but we can not say when we would get to any particular request.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

Thanks for clarifying John.
Both those features would be helpful if and when ever they get done
Kind Regards
