Thank you for the posts regarding this issue. I too have just started the demo of Sierra in order to handle and then edit more complex OCO/scaling orders. Since I am still trying to resolve data issues, and have not even gotten to these issues regarding having an initial stop at the open of a trade, it was important to have this pointed out. This really is a critically important issue to have a stop loss at the very least when opening a trade. I have not had a chance to send support questions on certain problems that I have had... but I have watched Sierra not update charts in real time, even when my other software is functioning fine and my internet connection seems OK. So it is not just an issue of internet connectivity, but also the comfort in knowing that at least the basic bracketed order is in at the open of a trade. I would not even think of trading without this...as it is a disaster waiting to happen. My intention was to have bracketed orders in with adjustable( presets ) stops....without being at the computer...and not knowing if or when the market would hit my trade entry. With the limitation of not being able to bracket an order...held on the server for a filled entry order.....I would never be able to use this. I hope this issue can be resolved. Thanks.
