I have to be doing something wrong, but I can not see my error. Please help.
A "simple" 10 minute rules based strategy appears to work, if I could accept the alert to place the stops occurring every 10 minutes once the buy alert is generated.
Is there an alternative method of placing sell percentage stops??? I tried Bracketed Exits with the same repeating result.
and the code:

P.S. I'd not be using rules if I could read/write C# code.

Short answer: That's the design.
The design is that a "repeat" signal is one that continues to be working in the marketplace. When the signal no longer repeats (i.e., it is not executed in the code), then that order is canceled. Make sense?
Now if you're using Auto Trading with WL Pro, when stop/limit order trigger values change, a cancel/replace order is issued. If the order price doesn't change, nothing should happen, however currently there's a bug that most often cancels and replaces the order anyway. That should be fixed in 5.5.

Cone, Thank you.
I appreciate short the answer... AND the enhanced explanation.
I asked the original question, because the alert sounding every 10 minutes after the buy was less than desirable to me, but would still appreciate an inital sound alert.
I found code examples of controling sound in your reply to M635's "Audible signals from a script". I will try some cut and paste from those samples.
I thought there was another sample of code for sound control, but can't seem to find the correct search terms to locate it again.

Found the other reference...Page 195 of the User's Manual.

Oh, you didn't say it was the sound that was bothering you. I could have pointed you to that reference, and if it helps, you can turn the Alert sounds off entirely in Preferences (F12) > Sounds.

I like the audible signal when my attention is needed. But a constant signal every x minutes becomes part of the background noise and may be missed-ignored at a wrong time. It would be nice if F12 had a "sound alert only the first time issued" option.

Good idea, and that's the type of thing you should call in to your Fidelity reps so that can pass it up for review.
