A few years ago, I had global profit and loss set up with amp as broker. However, while using a bracket order, the loss rules were met. I was locked out for the day, but the position DID NOT flatten. I would like to give it another try, but cannot have the same thing happen again obviously. I using teton/amp. If all settings are correct, can this happen again? Can this feature even work properly with AMP, as I am clearly aware they refuse to allow a daily max stop for their clients?

There was an option for a Server-Side Profit/Loss Management with Teton Order Routing. But due to exchange rules, this option is no longer available. The only thing available in relation to Sierra Chart is the following: Global Profit/Loss Management For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Is it possible you guys can add a feature to at least be able to emergency flatten? Or the only action you can be able to use while trading is locked is to flatten/cancel all orders?

If your broker is locking your account for some reason, then you would need to talk to them about the ability to Flatten and Cancel in this situation. We are not sure how your broker is handling this exactly. In general, with Teton Order Routing, there is a "Risk Management" mode, which allows you to close out existing positions, but does not allow you to open anything further.

I'm sorry in my first post I should have stated this. Sierra was locked due to settings that were entered, because loss rules were hit. And I COULDN'T flatten my position. Every time I hit flatten, the trade log error said trading was locked. I forgot what the settings were as it was years ago. However, if I have “Lock After Positions Flattened” enabled and the initial auto-flatten failed, can I still manually close the position? I tried to flatten multiple times and could not.

If you were using the "server side" profit/loss management, then that tool is no longer available. So if you are wanting some way to do this "server side", then you would need to check with AMP if they have anything currently available. Otherwise, you may have been using the "Global Profit/Loss Management" tool that is built into the Sierra Chart software. Refer to the following: Global Profit/Loss Management If you were using the Global Profit/Loss Management built into Sierra Chart, and the position was not flattened, then we do not know what might have occurred at that time. A "flatten" command should have been sent. In case something like that occurs again, you would have to call your broker to take care of closing out the position.
