Right now, when I enter a position, Its automatically set to a default 5-point stop and 10-point target, and when I press a key, it brings the stop to BE. Is there a way to add hotkeys that will bring my stop to +10 points and also create additional hotkeys that will make my target 25 points, and another that will bring it back to 10 points without overwriting my default settings of 5-point stop and 10-point target? I just want to cut down on as much dragging as possible and quickly adjust my trade management.

If you are wanting a different setup from the start, then you would want to have different Trade Configurations. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to select specific trade configurations (note that you have to create a control bar button first, then you can assign a keyboard shortcut to that control bar button). Refer to the following: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Using and Changing Between Different Trade Window and Attached Orders Configurations If you are wanting a dynamic way to do this, then it could be done with the "Trade Management by Study" study along with another study that sets the offset. The general idea of this would be that you would use your "Position Average Price" (accessible through the "Trading: Position Average Price" study) and then set your offsets from there (using the Arithmetic Studies or the Spreadsheet Formula). Then you would setup multiple "Trade Management by Study" to move either the Stop or the Target to the particular line you want. You would toggle the "Trade Management by Study" on to do the move, and then turn it off. You can then turn on another one to move again to a different position.

I guess out of anything else the main thing i wanted to know is there a way to assign a hot key that while in a position that’s in profit i can put my stop +10 points. I have a hot key for break even but i haven’t seen a option to put the stop in profit an custom number of points

You would need to do what we described in post #2. Attached is a Study Collection that gives an overview of how to do this. It has a Spreadsheet Formula that offsets a line 10 ticks from the Position Average Price. You can then Enable the "Trade Management by Study" study to move the Stop to that line position. Refer to the following for how to use a Study Collection: Study Collections: Using a Study Collection Provided by Sierra Chart Support I like the Spreadsheet Formula in this case as it allows you to set the offset in ticks (as I have done in the example). But if you want points, then you can use the "Study Subgraph Add" just as well. The "Trade Management by Study" is setup to do a move as soon as you enable the study and every 5 seconds after that. Although it should not need to do the move more than once, as everything else is static.

Thank you fir providing the study collection. Do you already have a pre-made study collection that moves stop up 10 points in profit?

We provided that Study Collection as a way to help you learn how to create what you want. You will need to modify the studies for what you want to do.

So I can use Position Average Price, Trade Management by Study, and Spreadsheet Formula, along with the instructions below: Attached Orders: Study Controlled Targets and Stops To create a keyboard to dynamically move my profit while in a trade? My Goal Shift + 1 = Move Target to 10 points Shift + 2 = Move Target to 15 points Shift + 3 = Move Target to 20 points Shift + 4 = Move Target to 25 points Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-01-30 13:35:02

Yes. You would need to have multiple copies of the studies in order to setup the different target locations and to enable different Trade Management by Study studies for which offset, but it can be done.
