SC,

I'm having an issue with my Trade Window. When detached from the chart the title bar is off screen and the window cannot be moved. I can attach to the chart, and unattach, and that's all.

I found a previous issue with this and have gone to Global Settings>>Tool Settings >> General - Chart Values and set all three of those selections to No, restared SC, and it hasn't changed.

Select "Chart >> Reset Child Windows". Refer to the following:
Chart Menu: Reset Child Window (Chart menu)

I have the same problem and even though I have reset the child windows, I keep having the same problem. This can be somewhat a nuisance when havingg many chartbooks open at one time.

If you keep having the same problem, then the Trade Window is getting moved by the operating system or some other reason for moving but it is not Sierra Chart moving it.

If resetting the windows does not resolve it, then do an Internet search for "moving windows that are off screen". There are plenty of postings on this topic and how to move the window back.

Maybe it would be best if I clarified further as to the attached trade window being offset and overlapping the first level control bar after opening a chartbook. Does that change anything as far as a solution?
