Hi there, Been using Sierra for awhile now and haven't experienced this problem till now and im not sure why its happening, This has happened the past 2 days now where I've been short in a market a couple contracts and I place a Limit Buy order for my profit target/exit which then immediately exits my trade right when the order is placed. Obviously I dont want to exit the trade until the limit order is reached. Please explain if I'm doing something wrong, but like i said, I've always used limit orders for my trades exits but now it seems to just exit my whole trade right when placed. |

What was the Market price at the time and what is the price at which you placed the Limit Buy order?

In crude oil, I shorted from 69.01, price was at 68.96 when i placed a limit buy order at 68.82, Sierra then exited my trade completely.

Is this in Simulation Mode or live trading? Also, get us the "Trade Activity" lines from the Trade Activity Log related to that trade so we can take a look and see what it shows in relation to the order being closed out. Refer to the following: Trade Activity Log: Providing Trade Activity Log Data Lines to Support But rather than copying the lines from the log, save the information to a file by following these instructions: Trade Activity Log: Saving to a Text File Then attach that file to this thread by following these instructions: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=PostingInformation.php#AttachFile For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
