In this scenario: - 1 Chartbook containing two charts (i.e. 1D CL and 5M CL) - using two separate spreadsheets to manage each chart (i.e. one spreadsheet for the Daily, another spreadsheet for the 5M) - using trade management by study on each chart to manage exits/targets (i.e. exit at Bollinger midline on the Daily chart and also on the 5M chart) Problem: Trade setups (stop, entry, target) from one chart are duplicated on the other chart. In instances when the Bollinger Midline is above price on one chart, but the Midline is below price on the Daily, my trade is automatically filled for a loss. For example, I place a buy order on the 5M chart with a target of the Bolinger Midline; However, price is already above the Daily Bolinger Midline. SC will automatically fill the order for a loss. Its as if SC is using trade management by study on both charts to manage my targets even though the order was placed on the 5M chart (Again, I am using two distinct spreadsheets to manage each chart: the reference point used for the Bolinger Midline differs between each each spreadsheet). Preferred solution: Ideally, I would like to see my stop/entry/target displayed on both the Daily and 5M chart, with the target managed from the chart through which the order was placed. I've tried changing the Auto Trading Enabled - Global and Auto Trading Enabled - Chart features, but I find that doing so prohibits SC from managing the trade by study. thank you, Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-06-19 20:00:12
