Post From: FIFO vs LIFO Order Handling / Scaling Positions

Hello Sierra Chart Support, I had a question regarding order handling and position management when scaling into futures positions. Is there any way within Sierra Chart to change position exit behavior from FIFO (First-In-First-Out) to LIFO (Last-In-Last-Out), so that if I scale into a position and a stop is hit, the most recent contract is closed first instead of the original position? Alternatively, is there a way to disable DCA-style position netting or otherwise keep scaled-in futures positions separate (with independent stops) within a single trading account? I understand that FIFO may be enforced at the broker or exchange level, but I wanted to confirm whether Sierra Chart offers any internal settings or order handling tools that allow for LIFO-style exits or true position separation when scaling. Thank you for the clarification. |
