Hello, I'm using the Trading Spread Order Entry study to enter 2-leg spread positions (ZFU26-CBOT + ZNU26-CBOT). The entry works fine, but I cannot get automatic Take Profit and Stop Loss to work. What I've configured: Use Target after Fill of Spread Entry: Yes Use Stop after Fill of Spread Entry: Yes Target Spread Price and Stop Spread Price are set Use Attached Orders is enabled in Trade Window Problem: When the spread entry triggers, no TP/SL orders appear in the Trade Window or on the chart. The position stays open until I close it manually. Question: Is the Spread Order Entry study supposed to place attached TP/SL orders automatically? If yes, what am I missing? If no, what is the recommended method to automate both entry AND exit for spread orders in Sierra Chart? I also tried DTC Protocol Server from Python, but orders are not executed despite successful connection and heartbeat. Thank you for any guidance. |

You will not see an actual Target or Stop order line in the charts, as the Target and Stop are relative to the Spread, not the individual symbols. You should see the Target and Stop showing in the region that has the "Spread Order Entry" graph.
