Hi all, it seems as though my take-profits (tp) and stop losses are not working unless I am logged into my SC account. In addition, it doesn't seem like the main buy and sell buttons work at the bottom of my trade window. Would you be able to take a look at my settings and let me know if there is something i need to adjust for my stops and tp's to work for me, so that I can move away from the desk with confidence knowing that I can exit the market with my targets and stops? Thanks in advance.

Is this in Simulation Mode or live trading? If live trading, what trading service are you using? Exactly what order types do you have set for your Targets and Stops? In general, if the Stops and Targets are not working when Sierra Chart is not running, then this implies that the Target and Stop are not being held by the trading service, but are local to your computer. So Sierra Chart is actually managing these, in which case the software needs to be running to do this. We need the above information to help determine why the orders would be local instead of with the trading service. -- With regards to the Buy/Sell buttons, refer to the following settings and ensure the buttons are enabled: Global Trade Settings Windows: Display Trade Window Controls (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
