Attached order problem with Autotrade Spreadsheet

I have a problem with trade window not responding properly as "autotrade spreadsheet" changes order quantities. My spreadsheets places and cancels 'limit orders' as per conditions met, and no longer exist...It does not enter or exit trades, just places limit orders...When the order is filled, trade window configuration takes over, and places, stop, target, trailing stop etc. as part of automation. I also configure J26, order quantity cell, which tells the number of contracts to be placed as orders; in my case if daily P/L is reaches to $150, increase quantity to 2, if P/L is more than $400, increase quantity to 3, etc. As I do replays, and watch the trade activity log, as chart is being re-played I observe the order quantity is increasing and decreasing as daily P/L changes, so my formula and setup is o.k. Under live conditions, when 'autotrade spreadsheet' is in charge, I observe the amount of contracts placed increases from 1 to 2 as daily P/L crosses above $150, filled orders increase from 1 to 2, and also attached orders placed, with increased amounts like stops and targets. Problem starts when daily P/L falls below $150, I see in the spreadsheet J26 cell showing quantity of 1, order placed is 1 but when the order is filled, attached orders are not sent to exchange, no targets, no stops, just the order with quantity equals 1! I also observe on the 'trade window' that the quantity button 2 is depressed - assuming left from the previous order! In short as quantities increase 'trade window' places the attached orders properly, but as the quantity decreases 'trade window' ignores attached orders... please help! thank you |

First, login to this Support Board with Help >> Support Board so we can see your current Sierra Chart account. Also, when the quantity is 1 for the order, there can only be one Target and one Stop. There cannot be more. How many are there? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

ok, connected thru help-support board, thank you for quick response, as I was saying everything goes ok when order quantity goes up from 1 to 2.I am aware of the fact there can only be one target and one stop! when i had a losing trade with 2 contracts, and daily P/L falls below $150, I observe J26 order quantity telling me the next trade will have 1 contract... but trade window does not send the attached stop order as the order is filled with quantity one, putting me in a trade naked, with button of 2 kept depressed! need this problem solved, thank you! |

We are unable to reproduce this. Can you reproduce this running through the test procedure here?: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetTradingTestProcedure.php And make sure you enable Use Attached Orders on the Trade Window. Refer to: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetSystemsAlertsAndAutomatedTrading.php#UsingManualOrAttachedOrdersExits Also know that Attached Orders are only going to be used for buy and sell entries. Not exits. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

I, also, could not reproduce the problem with your test procedure, even automatically increasing, and decreasing J26 value. At this point I am thinking about an issue that is arising during sending order to the exchange, I will be monitoring "trade service log". Thank you for your help. |
