Hi Tomgilb, Thanks for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it. What I’m trying to accomplish is to have my Sell Exit Limit Order sent at the same time, or as soon as possible after the Sell Entry Limit Order is sent, even if the Sell Entry Limit Order does not fill, in order to get my Sell Exit Limit Order placed in the Bid Queue so I have the best chance of being filled when, presumably, the price goes down to the Limit Price rather than waiting for the Sell Entry Limit Order to fill and risk an increased volume in the Bid Queue at the Sell Exit Limit Order price. I am under the impression that Attached Orders will not work because I have IF Statements in J25 relating to the time of day the orders are filled, for example, during the overnight (low volume) portion of the day the Sell Exit Limit Order is 50 ticks below the Sell Entry Limit Order and then during the higher volume portion of the day the Sell Exit Limit Order is 100 ticks below the Sell Entry Limit Order. -- In the case that the Sell Entry Limit Order does not fill before the price goes down to the Sell Exit Limit price, I use J27: Cancel Working Orders (read/write): at a tick above the Sell Exit Limit Order price, for example, in an overnight situation =IF(AND(J3=-1,E3<=(J94-49 ticks)),1,0) – I hope that helps clarify. And, again, thank you for taking the time.
