If it's not possible already (I've checked what I can find), I'd really appreciate the ability to have attached orders set to specific prices. Not just an offset. For instance, if I know no matter where I market sell, I want to have my stop at a certain price and a target at a certain price, I'd like to be able to configure that specific target and stop and then have it entered and attached as soon as I get in my trade by market.

This can be done through ACSIL:

It is not supported through the user interface. We do not think anyone has ever asked about this before. It would be impractical in most cases. Might be best just to simply adjust the orders to where you want after they are submitted.

It’s not impractical. It simply makes sense. You want your stop at a certain level, behind resistance. You want your target at a certain area. Your entry is going to be somewhere in your entry zone but your not sure where orderflow will support the entry. If you’re forced to adjust your stop afterwards then if you’re wrong with your entry and it spikes through, your stop is either going to get tagged before you can move it or you’re going to have additional risk with a further stop.

I’m sure other traders will agree with me that it would be beneficial.

Second for this. Just started using Sierra chart and also think it would be a good feature.

I would also find this very useful. I like to trade with support and resistance levels and often want the sl and tp to be based on those.
