Hello, There's an issue I don't know if it's a bug or just a SC limitation. If I have a bracket order with the max number of contracts allowed for my account (limited by the broker), SC won't let me scale out of the position by taking partial profits because it somehow thinks I am going above the limit number of contracts. For example, let's say my limit is 15 contracts and i am long 15 with a limit and stop bracket. If I place a short 5 to scale out of 5 I get an error message. Beside modifying the bracket is there another way around this?

This would only be a Sierra Chart limitation if you have set a "Global Trade Position Limit". Refer to the following: Global Symbol Settings: Use Global Trade Position Limit (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings) Or if you are using a custom study of some kind that has set a limit (including the Spreadsheet System for Trading). Otherwise, the error you are getting is coming from your trading service. Please copy and paste the error you are getting to this thread so we can see where it is coming from. You can try to change the following setting to "Yes", although it should only occur with a "Flatten" or "Reverse" and not a "Scale Out", but please give it a try: Global Trade Settings Windows: Hold Market Order Until Pending Cancel Orders Are Confirmed (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
