Hi,

Running Sierra Chart version 1182 connecting to TWS 946.2h ( Standalone version ) on Windows 7 64-bit operating system. Found the following problem with a paper-trading account:

Placed an ES limit SELL order at 2006.00 with a four-tick target (limit order) and an eight-tick stop. Nothing happened. When I lowered the limit SELL order from 2006.00 to 2005.75, the stop loss order suddenly moved to 2005.50.
