I have a custom ACSIL study that can read my live open position correctly, but it cannot read the attached stop and target orders from a manually entered bracket trade. While the position is open, my study sees: * Account: 18XXXX (Its a live account) * Position side: LONG/SHORT * Quantity: 1 * Average price: correct * Working orders exist: true But these calls do not return the attached stop/target orders: * GetNearestStopWorkingAttachedOrder * GetNearestTargetWorkingAttachedOrder * GetOrderByIndex * GetOrderForSymbolAndAccountByIndex The order scan returns zero orders, even though the chart/trade window shows a bracket is active. Question: What is the correct ACSIL method to read the working attached stop and target orders for a live manually entered bracket trade? Do live attached orders require a different API, symbol, account, or setting to be visible to ACSIL? |

. Update: I tested the modified study in both Simulation and Live trading. It now works correctly in both. The key was handling sc.SendOrdersToTradeService differently depending on whether Sierra Chart Trade Simulation is active. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-09-17 19:47:03
