How do I set a simple profit and loss stop in Sierra Charts. I would like to set a dollar (price) amount for my loss stop and the same for my profit stop? I have tried Attached Orders, but I just cannot see related changes when I adjust "MIT" and "Stop Stop". All help greatly appreciated

It is not supported to set the Attached Order offsets to an actual Profit/Loss currency value, if that is what you want to do.

Only a Price offset relative to the parent order price which resolves to an actual trade price.
