I want to trade 1 lot and move stop loss up to (for example) +10 points once price reaches +11 points. I tried to set this up (attached) but I'm getting this error message (attached). What can I do to make this work? Thanks.

We will have to look deeper into the error message you received. But, as to your configuration, you have an issue with values you have entered. Your BE Offset is greater than your trigger, therefore when the trigger occurs, you will be closed out of the position as your Stop will be placed above the current price. You need to make your BE Offset less than the trigger value. For more information, refer to the following: Attached Orders: Breakeven (BE) Level Offset For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

The issue was that I had to disable order confirmations on the trade window linked to the chart. The trade window I was using wasn't directly linked to my chart. Thanks.
