Hi
Is there a way to add a control bar button for moving Stops and/or Targets to "Breakeven + 1" on charts?

Thanks

I tried using "Trade Move Stop To Break Even" control bar button and BE buttons, but stop does not move.

what am I missing?

Thanks

So even when using the BreakEven(BE) button on the Trade Window:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> BE (BreakEven button)

, you are unable to move the Attached Stop order to breakeven?

Was this order entered from Sierra Chart?

Ok now we see you are using Transact. You should not have any trouble with moving a Stop Attached Order to breakeven.

First thing we want you to do is to update to the latest prerelease:
Software Download: Fast Update

That version has additional logging related to this. And then we need the information here:
Trade Activity Log Analysis: Support Assisted Trade Activity Log Analysis

There is no cost for us to look at the log for something like this.

So, BE button seems to be working in simulation. Didn't get a chance to check in real trading yet. Thanks for this part.

One thing which still is not working is stop moving to "Breakeven + 1". I have "BE Level Offset" to 1 so for attached orders, BE should move stop to
"Breakeven + 1" . Right?

Yes this is correct. You need to understand the breakeven price can change when scaling in.
