Post From: SC managed stops -- problem with CTS FIX feed or something else?

Dear SC,

Is it possible for SC to fully manage an attached stop so as to set an absolute price at order time? As-is, the stop amount is relative to your filled entry price, which means users need to then later adjust the order themselves if they want an absolute stop price set.

I am using automated trading and just received an error adjusting my stop price. What happened was I had a position on to buy a 4-lot of CL (this was filled completely). But the stop (in the trade activity log) only showed an open order of 1 lot. Please see the attached trade service log and attached trade activity log.

Can you tell me what happened to the attached stop loss? Is it possible for Sierra Chart to fully manage an absolute stop price which is specified at order time, so that users don't need to write code to adjust the stop price? Please see the attached modify_order_snippet.cpp (the code is known to work and I haven't noticed this event before) which shows how I'm modifying my order.

Best Regards,
Ted
