Hello,

Is there a way to change the order that the SHOW ORDER FILL LINES are drawn?
I ask this because I trade Last in First Out.
However the Fill Lines are First in First Out.
I have searched and searched to no avail.
If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it!

My Chart Settings>Trade Settings are set to Last in first out.
But When Sierra draws my trades on the chart by posting my entries and exits, and then draws a line connecting those trades, it is still drawing those connecting lines as though I traded it First in First out.

Meaning when I select: Show Order Fills, and it draws a line connecting the open and close of a position, it is still drawing those lines as though I was trading First in First out, but my settings are set to Last in First out.

It is like 'Show Order Fills' is failing to recognize the Last in First out setting when it is enabled.

Thick grey dots are order lines connecting trades where it sees it as a sell for a loss.
Thin White lines are connecting trades where is sees a sell for a profit.
Green triangles are buys
Blue are sells
Notice Sell 1 got connected from my last buy from yesterday for a loss.
( But I had no open open from yesterday, I was flat.)
Yellow box on left is showing the connecting line from imaginary position
Small Yellow Box is my last buy, and it thinks that position is still open, but I am flat.

Your screenshots show the opposite:

My Chart Settings>Trade Settings are set to Last in first out.

Make sure this is set to Yes:
Chart Settings: Use Last In First Out Fill Matching (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

You also need to refer to:

Yes

The show order fill lines will only display First in First Out, even when LIFO is selected.

Thanks for the links.

The fist one I have done.

I will read up on the second and see if that helps.

Attached is a screenshot from today.
LIFO is selected, and the lines are FIFO

You are not using the right setting. It is named "Use Last In First Out Fill Matching".
