Good Day, This was done is Simulation mode. My breakeven settings are below: Type: Offset In Ticks Triggered BE Level Offset: 2 Trigger Offset: 8 Using the example of a long position: - So when I'm trading 1 contract, the breakeven executes as expected - my stop is moved to 2 ticks in profit, when price is 8 ticks above my entry price. - However, when I'm trading 2 contracts, when price is 8 ticks above my entry price, my stop is not moved to 2 ticks in profit. I have to adjust my trigger offset to 4 in order for my stop to be moved to 2 ticks in profit, when price is 8 ticks above my entry price. I'm new to Sierra Chart so please advise on what I may be missing. Thanks! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-04-01 14:53:04

The quantity should not matter for the "Move to Breakeven". So, offhand, you should have the Stop moving to 2 ticks in profit just like you did with a quantity of 1. The only thing we can think is that with a quantity of 2, you may be using multiple targets and hance multiple stops. If this is the case, then the first option is to use a single Stop with the "Group" set to "All OCO Groups". Refer to the following for an example: Attached Orders: 2 Targets and Common Stop with Move to Breakeven on First Target For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
