Chart trader order paddles to reference your entry location, NOT current market?

[JesseOffshore]

I trade on bar size using a tick chart, so my risk is always different on every trade. Im trying to figure out a way to have the order paddles refrence my entry location, not the current market price.

I would like to enter a trade using the ATM, then adjust my risk and have it show me in ticks how far or close I am from my entry point, not the market. Right now if I enter a long position and price moves up, and I go to adjust my stoploss, its showing me on the chart how far I am from the current price instead of where I entered. Market goes up 6 ticks, and as soon as I go to move my stop, the numbers are moving with the market.

Does anyone know how to fix this or if there is an indicator that can resolve this? Im a scalper and my trades are usually fast so the most accurate way to do this would be to have the chart trader show me this in real time.

Hello JesseOffshore,

Unfortunately there is no setting in ChartTrader to change this. The ghost order shows the number of ticks away from the inside market. Please see the link below.
