Hi, For anyone out there, or SC Support if this falls within the scope of support, having read through the documentation here http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/AttachedOrders.html#AttachedOrdersInLiveEnvironment I can see two benefits of using server side vs client for order management; 1.In the case of placing an order then losing client internet connection the stop and limit are still placed when the parent order is filled (whilst the client still being disconnected) because the child orders are held with the trading service, waiting for confirmation the parent has been filled. 2.Reduced latency. Because the child stop and target orders are held with the trading service on their server (which is assumed to be collocated with the exchange), once the parent fills there is minimal latency for the placement of the stop (for somewhat increased protection) and target limit (better position in queue). Are there any other benefits I am missing here? Many thanks.
