Post From: BuyEntry signal is ignored because working orders exists

Hello, we are getting the error message "BuyEntry signal is ignored because working orders exists" when submitting multiple orders while one is 'open'. According to the documentation if we specify a target/stop attached orders are automatically used and we should be able to use multiple attached orders even if they are still open. Our use case is simple, under a certain condition we want to submit an order with a target but not a stop. The buy order code is as follows:

s_SCNewOrder createOrder(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc, float currentPrice, int quantity, float stopOffset, float targetOffset, bool isLong)
{
  SCString DebugMessage;
  DebugMessage.Format("*************** ************* Creating new order. Quantity=%d Current Price %f- Stop=%f, Traget=%f, TickSize=%f", quantity, currentPrice, stopOffset, targetOffset, sc.TickSize);
  sc.AddMessageToLog(DebugMessage, 0);
    
  s_SCNewOrder NewOrder;
  NewOrder.OrderQuantity = quantity;
  NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GOOD_TILL_CANCELED;
  NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_MARKET;
  NewOrder.OCOGroup1Quantity = 1;

  NewOrder.Target1Offset = targetOffset;
  NewOrder.AttachedOrderTarget1Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT;
  //NewOrder.Stop1Offset = stopOffset;
  
  return NewOrder;
}

Then we just send that to a buyEntry call, any ideas as to what may be wrong?
