I have looked around and tried different settings in the app but can't figure it out. If I place a 1 lot buy order say at 2650 with a 4 tick stop loss and 6 tick profit target everything works great. If I then add a second 1 lot order at 2650.50 and it also fills them it combines them into an average price and for some reason one stop gets pushed to 3 ticks and the other 5 ticks when they should both be at 4 ticks. It also moves profit target to 4 ticks on one and 6 on the other. Is there a way for it to not combine everything and mess with my targets? Any help is appreciated. Thanks |

This is not making any sense because Stop and Target order prices are not going to get modified unless you modify them yourself. Maybe you are asking about the Position Average price. You might want to use the flat to flat method: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GlobalTradeSettings.html#FlatToFlatAveragePriceForPosition Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I tested that and it did not fix the issue. I will try to explain it better now. If I place two seperate bracket orders with lets say 6 ticks profit/loss and one is at 2732 and the other at 2732.50 (long). When the 2733 fills my bracket goes live with a stop at 2730.50 and target profit @ 2733.50, everything is good so far on the DOM. Once the 2732.50 is filled it all goes sideways. My stop at 2730.50 is now showing 7 ticks stop loss, and my stop at 2730.75 is showing 6 ticks stop loss. My profit targets at 2733.50 is now showing 5 ticks profit target and the one @ 2733.75 is showing 6 ticks profit target. My average buy price is showing 2732.13 combined instead of 2 seperate fills. I have to now manually move my stops and profit targets so they are the correct 6 ticks. Hope that made some sense. |

Might it relate to the scale-in function being checked or unchecked?

Any other ideas how I can have it not combine the two fills into one price?
