    Stop and Limit orders not showing on the chart

    Hello,
    I'm trying to learn to code strategies and I've hit a small snag. I have a strategy that DOES enter positions and submit stop and limit (target) orders (they show up in the Orders tab). But they don't show up on the chart.

    I'm using "Market Reply" data if that makes a difference.

    Upon searching, everything I see just says "Make sure Chart Trader is turned on". As far as I can tell, it IS turned on. (I checked the chart's properties, and the Chart Trader UI is visible on the right-hand side.)

    I'm using EnterLong(), ExitLongStopMarket() and ExitLongLimit() methods to create the orders.

    Here's an example or the Orders tab after the stop and limit orders have been submitted...

    ​And here's the chart. The entry order shows as a little triangle, but not as a horizontal line, and no stop or limit orders show up (but they DO trigger if price gets there.)

    ​Any chance someone knows what's going on off the top of your head?
    Thanks!

    Hello GregX999,

    Thanks for your post.

    I see in the screenshot you shared that the Chart Trader 'Account' drop-down menu is blank.

    To see the trades that a strategy is placing on the chart, you would need to set the 'Account' drop-down menu to 'Playback101' since the strategy is running on the Playback account.

    Please let us know if we may assist further.

      That did the trick!! Thanks so much! (I was pretty sure it was just me doing / not doing something super simple.)
