DOM stop/tgt configurations

I have a DOM preset configuration I used for scalps that has a static target and stop. I'm using this configuration in tight and volatile times. On the Hang Seng Futures, the DOM is very very erratic and fast, so I can't click on the current bid/ask. To compensate, I will click say 10 prices above the current offer when I want to buy a scalp. I'll get a fill at the current best ask price of which will be below the price I clicked. The DOM will lay out my stops and targets at my preset X ticks amount from where I clicked the button and not where I was filled. I need this to be from where I was filled - can you look into addressing this? The current behaviour has cost me money by having the stop too close versus what I have it set to be in the configuration. Thank you in advance. |

Make sure you are not using server-side bracket orders:Global Trade Settings Windows: Use Server Side Bracket Orders (if supported) (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General) And make sure this is enabled: Global Trade Settings Windows: Adjust Attached Orders to Maintain Same Offset on Parent Fill (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thanks for the reply. If I disable the server side bracket orders so it is managed in the client, then if my Internet connection was to go down while I had an open trade, what would happen? No orders would get filled? A dangling order would remain after one was filled? Risky.

Disable use server-side bracket orders but use server-side OCO orders. As long as the parent order has filled and the Internet connection is lost after that, those orders will still be at the exchange and be managed by IB.
