And thinking about this some more, you really should not be using Stop with Last Triggering because for the futures markets, a native exchange Stop order is going to be triggered based on the last trade price anyway. There simply is no benefit to having a client-side managed stop in this particular case.

An order type like this, is in Sierra Chart because some users have asked for it for the purpose of the cash Forex markets. It really serves no use in the futures markets and we will add that to the documentation.

One reason, among others, is the chart is managing its own orders and it has to be set to the same symbol as the order because when charts are replaying it will use the price data relevant to its own current state. And charts can be replaying at different points in time and be working with different prices even if the symbols are the same among different charts.
