Is there a way to add a manual Profit Target or Stop Loss after you have entered a trade? I was using an Attached Order setting that had previously worked, but as soon as the entry was trigger, both my Target and Stop disappeared. This has occurred on two different days, so today I deleted it and created a new one. I looked through everything at https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/AttachedOrders.html, but didn't see anything about adding a Target or Stop, if the current order doesn't have one.

Thanks.

Just send an OCO Limit and Stop (without attached orders checked) in the opposite direction of your trade.

I tried that too, but the order was rejected. Perhaps, I did something wrong, so I'll try again.

It worked that time, I guess I still had Attached Orders selected. Since I had to do one for TP and SL, I did have to manually cancel the one that wasn't triggered. Not ideal, but at least I don't have to babysit the trade if they disappear again.
