Are there any custom studies running within the Sierra Chart instance? Yes, but not on the chart I was using to set the orders. If you restart Sierra Chart and open a single chart without any studies, can you reproduce this problem? Yes. I have discovered what may be an idiosyncrasy with the software. Running a single chart, I have "chart trade mode on" unchecked. Then I "open trade window for chart". I place the orders using the pop out trade window. When the stop price trades, the order does not execute. If I turn on chart trade mode for the chart, the orders then execute as expected. I presume this is to do with the implementation of the simulation logic and would not occur in live trading as the order is then held at the exchange (native order type).
