hi, i dont know how to put an attach order into market when i trade with more then one contract the way i describe bellow i enter the market with lets say 2 contracts, both stop and target are at the same price and with OCO relations http://prntscr.com/52vhy5, now when the market moves i want to devide the two-contracts target into two separated limit orders, but i dont know how. - i do it by setting new quantity - http://prntscr.com/52vih6 - ok, but when the market fills this first target (limit order), there is no second target (limit order) i could move with (there is only stop, which is ok) - http://prntscr.com/52vhrp so i need to close the position not with limit order but with market order, which is not what i want to do. so, could you please tell me how to put THE SECOND TARGET (limit order) into the market, when i devide the multiple contract target? |

You have to cancel those Attached Orders and resubmit new ones using two separate target orders. You can configure multiple Trade Window configurations which can be quickly selected: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeWindow.html#TradeWindowConfigurations Here are instructions to submit Attached Orders separately: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_OrderTypes.html#SendAttachedOrders Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

well, the problem is, that i would like to quickly change the pre defined contracts.. lets say i have defined: 1 contract (stoploss 10 tick, profit target 14 tick) under the number 1 at the TRADE WINDOW - http://prntscr.com/57l5xt 2 contracts (stoploss 10 tick, first profit target 10, second profit target 20) under the number 2 at the TRADE WINDOW http://prntscr.com/57l792 and now i want to change them according to the strenge of a signal in the market with a simple click of a mouse at the right corner of my orderflow chart - http://prntscr.com/57l8fa but it is not possible - because when it was once set to 2 contracts (with two separated targets as described above) and i want to enter the market with only one contract (as described above), it tells me a mistake message that the order quantity for a parrent order is too small and i need to reset it - http://prntscr.com/57l8si so the question is HOW TO QUICKLY CHANGE THESE PREDEFINED SETUPS?
