_Stops & Targets Automated Strategy

I'm using the TradeStation default _Stops & Targets strategy for my automated strategy stop loss. I've been margin called twice now and they're telling me it's because there is no stop loss.

How can I get a stop loss order sent at the same time as my order entry? Should I just code the stop into my entry strategy so the orders are sent at the same time?

That is what I recommend to traders I work with. Although there may be other things going on. I would suggest no more automated trading until you have tested your new approach on SIM to make sure orders are submitted and accounted for correctly.
