Is it possible to configure the text displayed for a Stop Limit or Stop Market order that is visible on the chart? Right now, when I right click and enter a "Sell Stop" there is too much information displayed. I see what appears to be the price where I initiated the order and then when I drag the order to trail it manually there is also the updated price displayed. I would like to only have the current price of the order displayed. I've attached a screenshot. |

Refer to the information in the following section: Global Trade Settings Windows: Working Orders - Display (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

This did not resolve the issue. If you look at the first attached screenshot in this reply you can see there are 2 prices. It appears like this: "B(StopLmt)(THIS PRICE IS NOT NEEDED)|THIS IS THE ACTUAL PRICE WHERE THE ORDER IS SET|Open|0 1 X I explored all of the settings in the Working Orders panel and the only one I found that changed the displayed prices was the "Order Price" setting. When this is set to "No" it removes both of the prices displayed in the order. This is shown in the second screenshot. I also realized that moving the order up and down results in both the "NOT NEEDED" price and the "ACTUAL PRICE" changing values. I'm curious where the "NOT NEEDED" price is coming from and how to remove that price only. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-04-17 17:48:50

The price in parentheses is the Limit price. Refer to the following for how a Stop-Limit works: Order Types: Stop-Limit Therefore, both prices are valid. There is not an option to not display both prices. You will either see both prices or neither.

Got it. Is it possible to use a different order type so that only one price is displayed? In the simulator it only displays one price for the same steps I'm taking to set the stop. Is that because the sim may have a different default order when adding a Sell Stop? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-04-17 19:46:40

If you are trading with the CME Group, then this is occurring because they convert Stop orders to Stop-Limit. Refer to the following: Order Types: Stop Orders on the CME For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
