Re last item "not correct" please explain.
Here's what really happens re my original example:
My example: Assume ES trading at 2107.
I want to buy 1 at 2101 and ONLY IF FILLED have a Stop Loss at 7t and a profit at 10t.
I wanted to have the Stop and Profit pair execute automatically when my parent order is filled.
If I send the Buy order (ES at 2107) with the attached order, it generates a SELL @ 2101 - meaning a SELL SHORT!
And a BUY (to cover) at 2101 - EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I WANTED.
The system should be smart enough to execute this correctly.
And as far as the system generating a bracket order AUTOMATICALLY ONLY AFTER THE BUY / SELL IS FILLED, I have no idea how to achieve this.
Your sparse communications leave me underwhelmed.
Suggest Sierra produce several Youtube videos demonstrating how to use the Order pad.
Best regards.
