I practiced on a 75 tick NQ100 chart today ... more wave action that the 133 tick chart but I sure miss the e-mini ... ended with -6 ... definitely a drawback to have to manually manage the trade ... think it has to do with the standard demo Amps account.

Would have been well up if I was not so sensitive with the BE trigger ... must do it manually because my SL and TP lines do not show or work on Sierra Amps Demo ...

Thanks ... I did go through it but the solution have eluded me so far.
It is just an issue with the Amps Demo... with the Infinity Demo the lines/orders showed up automatically after I set it and I cannot find a setting that differs ... weird.

Do the child orders (Stop-Profit) not show up regardless of whether the parent order is filled or pending or only once the order is filled do they disappear?

Yes ... no child orders ... just the parent order shows while pending and when trigged.
Like I said, no issue with the Infinity demo, just with the Amps Demo .. all the Trade options is ticked so it should show.
I did report it to Amps as well as the fact that the NQU18 chart has no feed, only shows history but no active tick bars.
They are looking into it.

Are you sure the "Use Attached Orders" box is checked on the Chart Trade Window? Or maybe the correct corresponding Chart Trade Window isn't open.

I didnt find Sierra to be an intuitive program. In fact, 2 weeks is far too short of a demo (especially with the majority of new users working 40hrs a week while trying to learn it). However, i really enjoy it now that i have used it for awhile.

I also struggled (am still struggling to a degree) with Sierra. I have had 4 weeks of practice on Infinity and now almost 2 week with Amps . But since I only intend to use it for the NQ e-mini during the opening 1 to 1.5 hours of NY open, I do not worry too much. The fact that I can only practice on the NQ100 is almost like practicing with a sword with a weight attached ... it makes me stronger and when the weight is take off it will be easier with just the sword (e-mini). The principles stay the same.

The other part of my trading is much slower (Daily/Hourly) and only during the first few hours of London open. That is on Mt4.

I am making the most of my time left on the demo so I traded a session this morning as well ... not too bad ... practice is practice ... this session also ended in a small loss ... ended at -10 for both sessions ... as per dweb's quote .. we err and err and err again, but less ...

Thanks for all the advice regarding Sierra !!!
