I have searched and cannot find the answer. I want to see profit in $, ticks, and/or points on the TP and SL horizontal order lines on the chart that are yet to be filled. I have messed with settings and can do this for the current value of my position (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading >> P/L Format (list)), however I cannot figure out how to do this for open orders. In order to see how much I might make/lose I have to hold and manually move the order line on the chart with my mouse. If you move it and keep the mouse button down, it shows the potential $ amount, but disappears when the mouse click is released. I want to be able to visualize how many ticks/$ I am able to make/lose that is based on quantity of all open contracts, without having to move it back and forth constantly. Is there any way to do this? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-04-27 03:35:08

There are two settings under Trade >> Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders that are the following: - Attached Order P/L When Modifying - Attached order P/L Always It sounds like you have the first set to Yes and the second to No. Set Attached Order P/L Always to Yes and you should be all set. Refer to the following for these settings: Global Trade Settings Windows: Attached Order P/L When Modifying (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders >> Working Orders - Display) Global Trade Settings Windows: Attached Order P/L Always (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders >> Working Orders - Display) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Just updated to current version and now I no longer have the potential profit/loss on my attached order. Is there another setting to check? Thanks
