I have a small issue that you may be able to help resolve for me. I have not been able to understand the information form Seirra Chart.

The issue is this: say I trade two contracts , one with a profit target of 12 ticks, and one with a profit target of 20 ticks, and my stop-loss is at 10 ticks. Once my first profit target of 12 ticks is hit, I would like the stop-loss to automatically move to break-even. But I have not been able to figure out how to get that to work.

Do you have any advise or suggestion as to how to do that?

kind regards

When setting up the "Move to Breakeven" for the Stop, you can do this setting the "Type" for the "Move to Breakeven" to one of the following:
1. Offset in Ticks Triggered: then set the "Trigger Offset" to be "12".

2. OCO Group Triggered: then set the "Trigger OCO" to be the OCO number of the first target of 12 ticks.

Either way gives you the exact same results.

Refer to the following:
