Post From: Spread Order Entry - How to attach automatic TP/SL to spread orders?

Hello,

I'm using the Trading Spread Order Entry study to enter 2-leg spread positions (ZFU26-CBOT + ZNU26-CBOT). The entry works fine, but I cannot get automatic Take Profit and Stop Loss to work.

What I've configured:

Use Target after Fill of Spread Entry: Yes

Use Stop after Fill of Spread Entry: Yes

Target Spread Price and Stop Spread Price are set

Use Attached Orders is enabled in Trade Window

Problem: When the spread entry triggers, no TP/SL orders appear in the Trade Window or on the chart. The position stays open until I close it manually.

Question: Is the Spread Order Entry study supposed to place attached TP/SL orders automatically? If yes, what am I missing? If no, what is the recommended method to automate both entry AND exit for spread orders in Sierra Chart?

I also tried DTC Protocol Server from Python, but orders are not executed despite successful connection and heartbeat.

Thank you for any guidance.
