I am currently doing SIM trading in Sierra to get everything how I want, but I have tried to use the BE button and it is not doing anything. I have set it to offset 2 ticks. I have also set a hotkey to it. When I press either the button in my trading DOM or use the hotkey, nothing happens. I don't get an order popping up like I was expecting. I am not sure what may be causing this, I am very new to Sierra. Thanks for the help. |

You need to have an Attached Stop order as part of your trade. Then when you select the BreakEven button, it will move that Stop Order to the location you have specified (in your case 2 ticks from the actual Break Even price). Refer to the information here: Attached Orders: Move to Breakeven for Stop and here: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> BE (BreakEven button) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

It looks like that worked for me. Thanks for the help. Also, what would be the best way to have a triggered break even stop? Say after 10 ticks I want an automatic BE +2? I have been looking into the brackets and I am not completely sure. Also, if say before 10 ticks, I want to do a manual BE +2, could I have it not create a new one or overwrite the old one? I wouldn't want to be in reversed into a position on the other side. Thanks |

What you are asking about is what the first link we gave above is about. It talks about how to add the automatic breakeven to an Attached Stop order.
