How to avoid a pending attached child order (Take Profit) to be placed before the parent order gets filled? Context: With ACSIL, I am using the function sc.GetTradePositionForSymbolAndAccount(PositionData, SymbolToTrade, TradeAccount); & NewOrder.Target1Offset = Tticks * sc.TickSize; Scenario A: SymbolToTrade = Symbol of the chart on which the system/study is applied Result: Pending Child Order Sent Correctly --> only placed after "parent" order gets filled (proper OSO) Scenario B: SymbolToTrade != Symbol of the chart on which the system/study is applied Result: Expected Pending Order is mistakenly sent by Sierra Chart as a main order regardless of the "parent" being filled or not (not OSO) I read in documentation that only 1 SL and/or 1 TP can be placed when using GetTradePositionForSymbolAndAccount() but not understanding why the TP is not sending as TP.. Important I resolve this otherwise the study keeps shooting target orders before their parent orders --> end up accumulating position in opposite direction as intended Any help or insight is appreciated!
