I use Chart Trader. When I submit an order I also submit a Stop Loss STOP order and a take profit LIMIT order.
I depress left mouse button and hold while order colour turns from red to orange, then I attempt to drag the order to a new price. Usually the Orange colour turns back to red in 2 seconds and I can not drag my order to a new price. I have V-1605 installed. I recall drag of price working well in the past, but not so well now.

There is no problem with this functionality. It works perfectly.

There should never be a case, that you cannot drag the price of an order to a new price level unless it is being rejected by the external trading service or based upon the Sierra Chart settings you have adjusted a stop order to an invalid price level.

Even if you see while you are modifying the order, that at times the order line may be displayed momentarily at its original price level, you still are able to modify it and have the order modification be sent through.

Just as a suggestion, turning on Click/Release/Click works MUCH better for me. Dragging is often dependent on your mouse and finger pressure while dragging. I'd rather click to activate, move the pointer exactly where I want it then click again.
