1. If we are understanding you correctly, your position is at a loss and then you are selecting "Move to Breakeven". Ignoring the offset for the moment, this would definitely close your position, as the Breakeven point is your original position buying point (assuming one buy order), which would be above the current price level.

The offset could change where this lands exactly, but the offset would have to be large enough and negative to end up with the stop below the current price.

2. Assuming that the chartbooks are from the same instance of Sierra Chart, then the other thing to check is that the chart that is not showing the position is also in Trade mode. Make sure that the option Trade >> Chart Trade Mode On is enabled (has a check next to it). Refer to the following:
Trade Menu: Chart Trade Mode On (Trade menu)

3. The same practices that apply to using Sierra Chart with Futures applies to Stocks. The main thing is figuring out what works best for you. Also refer to the following section for general information on how to maximize the performance of Sierra Chart:

4. No, there is no support for this.
