So here's what happened: 1) Trade Window shows quantity 5 contracts 2) Use attached orders (checked) 3) Target #1 shows quantity 4 contracts 4) Target #2 shows quantity 1 contracts 5) Stop All shows quantity 1? (greyed out) My Stop loss is set to OCO Group Triggered (group 1) - move to breakeven for stop. I have used this attached order extensively in market replay and everything functions perfectly. While trading live, the market filled only 1 of my 4 contracts at the first price target level. When that 1 contract was filled "A" SL moved to breakeven. That shouldn't have happened until all 4 were filled. I say "A" stop-loss moved to breakeven because a stop-loss order was still at my original spot. Price then retraced to "breakeven" and closed one of my contracts leaving 3 remaining open.... weird. Price then retested the first target and closed the remaining 3 contracts. This is what should have happened: Price moves to first target, one contract closes, SL doesn't move. Price then retests first target and closes 3 more contracts (total 4) and stop-loss moves to breakeven. Remaining contract either reaches 2nd target or stops out at breakeven. It seems as if the Sierra Chart platform "thought" I only opened one contract instead of 5 so when that first contract closed, it moved to breakeven (but only for one contract) as it didn't close the other 3. This entire time there was an order line at the original breakeven location. So it was like there were two stop-loss levels. Help! |
