Hello SC support, Is there an order type which allow to me achieve step 2 in the following scenario? Step 1 - Stop @ -1R and breakeven @ 1R (Stop: Stop + Move to Breakeven for Stop, done) Step 2 - Instead of using Target Market/limit order @ 2R and exit the trade, is there a way for me to move my stop from breakeven (thanks to step 1) to 2R and stay there? Thanks! |

As long as the "Stop" is a "Stop Limit" then you can move it to the profitable side of the position and it will not fill until price has moved to the set Limit value. But doing this will mean that you will be unprotected should price move back in the other direction, which is the point of the Stop to begin with.

I also tried setting up step 2 under Move to Breakeven for Stop feature, where I use 2R for Trigger offset, and a few ticks back as BE level Offset. Step 1 works great but Step 2 only worked in replay but not in live. Any idea why? Btw, Is the Market-if-touched still not supported with Teton? Thanks |

What exactly occurred when you tried to use Step 2 in live trading? Market-if-Touched is only supported as a Client-Side order type. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

During live, stop remains at step 1 'BE level offset', and not moving to step 2 'BE level offset' when step 2 trigger offset is reached.
