This is what my Trade Dom window looks like.. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1493835089404.png

Here are my questions:

1. How can I check on open (working) orders after a trade is done and I think I am flat, if I want to?

2. How can I check and see the trade entry fill price that started the trade and the trade fill price that closed out the trade?

Specifically, can I do this off the trade dom windom somewhere? I know I can see that info when the trade is in progress; but, what is the best way that I can see the info in questions 1 and 2 above, AFTER the trade is closed and over with?

3. How do I set the trade dom so that I can't see the trade p/l but I can see the daily p/l? I tried checking the Global > Chart trade settings > display daily profit/loss on chart/trade dom line and leaving unchecked the Global > Chart trade settings > display profit/loss on position line, but that did not do it.

4. It would be great if the following was possible....let's say I am long and I get lost as to what orders are still out there, so I hit the cancel all button on the trade dom. That is great, since all working (open) orders are now cancelled and gone. However, now I want to put back my bracket order. Remember, I am long at say for example CL 50.00 and I want to place my bracket at +15 and -15 for the target and stop respectively. I have my entry still on the trade dom. What is the best way to put back my target and stop. The dom I was using had a button on it to send bracket orders. Then when I was in this situation, I could simply hit that send bracket orders and my target and stop for that strategy would be put back on again on the chart. Would it be possible for you to update your trade dom for that feature?

Thanks in advance.

When I went to the link about it reads...

An example menu when you right-click on a chart is displayed to the right with the Send Attached Orders commands highlighted. If these commands are not listed, then they will need to be added. To do this, select Global Settings >> Customize Chart Trade Menu. Add all of the order types that you want to use.

However, when I go to Global Settings > Customize Chart trade menu then I do not see a line item for send attached orders? What is wrong?

Also, I have the line for display daily profit/loss on chart/trade dom checked and it is not displaying the profit and loss information. I used Chart >> Chart trade setting and then checked the display daily profit/loss on chart/trade dom box checked. Why is it not displaying this info.

Thanks

They must be there. There are two of them.

We need to see exactly what you are seeing.

1. I got it. As usual it was operator error. I was looking at the single chart instead of the global area.

2.Nevermind. I figured it out. You have to go to Chart >> chart settings >> advanced settings >> then set the profit and loss to what you want instead of to "do not display."

Thanks and have a good weekend.
