I have a question please about Trade and Current Quote Symbol ( Action ) why my first trade often stopped out by -2 Ticks ? My Target is 100T and Stop 25 Ticks with Simple Bracket. I use AMP Futures with Teton CME Routing and Denali Data Feed. After my first trade all work fine with SC. I use a 50 Trades or 25 Range Chart at GC. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-12-12 16:53:13

We can not answer this question, as we do not have any insight into what occurred. You need to look at your Trade Activity Log and see what is shows for why that position was closed out where it was. Refer to the following: Trade Activity Log Analysis: Determining the Origin of a New/Modified Order Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank you very much, I figured it out. A daily loss limit had been set. It must have taken effect and consequently liquidated the trade. Unfortunately, I still haven’t understood the Global Profit/Loss Management, despite reading the help section multiple times and testing it in simulated trading. Does it actually work? If so, could you please just create a video explaining it? It would be very helpful for me if I could set up a simple daily loss limit, and once that amount is reached, trading would be blocked for the rest of the day. However, this would need to apply to the micro market and not the regular market, since I am using Trade and Current Quote Symbol. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-12-12 20:57:15

When using a "Trade and Current Quote Symbol", you need to make sure the "Currency Value per Tick" for that chart is set to the traded symbol. If that is set correctly, then the correct Profit/Loss will be used in the Global Profit/Loss Management tool.
