Hi altogether,

I am somewhat new to sierra.
Overwhelmed by the Order options.

Backtesting gave me 100 ticks to even almost 1000 and uncontrolled runaways (and also again 700 ticks minus).

I set up my strategie, which is sensitive to trend and changes, using Renko 5t in JPY E-micro / E-mini.

I wonder if someone has some idea about how to set up orders.

Aim would be to have primary trailing stop Order controlled server side, and a OCO Order for protection, but OCO order should not cancel primary (that would happen by trailing stop).

Also I could go with clientside closing signal, but i consider that risky.

Any advice how to set up orders "correctly"

In other words, main order, trailing stop, stop Level 10 ticks, additional OCO server side order with 5 ticks to protect entry and minimize risk to 5 ticks, all Server side controlled.

Is that possible?

Yes, I did post there too, but under programming help / consultancy & user discussions, as they ask for to do so for those kind of questions.
