Not sure about this. Need an 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. How can I do this? thanks

FYI - I spent several hours learning the Order system and only posted because it was still unclear. 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. It appears that this this can occur only if the "Use Attached Orders" is checked. Correct? If "Use Attached Orders" is NOT checked then I must change the order type from LIMIT to "Attached Orders Price" and hit the BUY button. Correct? If the above is correct< why not make it much faster by having a "Sen Attached Order" button therefore skipping the two steps? Thanks

It appears that this this can occur only if the "Use Attached Orders" is checked. Correct? Yes of course. This is exactly what the documentation says. If "Use Attached Orders" is NOT checked then I must change the order type from LIMIT to "Attached Orders Price" and hit the BUY button. Correct? No, this is not correct.

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.
