Placing smart orders on existing position not possible

1) Enter position with Smart order (Say a stop loss below current price)
2) Entry order triggered, trade is active, stop loss is placed below.
3) Delete stop loss on the chart by clicking the X button (this happened by accident to me, while I was trying to double-click the order to enter edit mode)
4) Stop loss order is deleted, the open trade is still shown on the chart
5) Trying to click on the open trade to enter edit mode and recreate the stop loss order, but this is not possible

At this point, the only option seems to be to close the trade by selling the coins with a sell order, then re-enter the trade again. It seems smart orders can apparently only be placed at the moment of order entry. This is not smart at all.

Note that often I will not even get further than step 2). The initial placement of smart orders can fail and result in this error: https://roadmap.altrady.com/b/bugs/bina-atom-usdt-error-executing-position-update/

I'm not 100% clear about what you're experiencing. Is this correct:

  1. You open a Long position with a Limit Entry and a Stop Loss exit.
  2. Buy entry is filled.
  3. Pending SL is placed.
  4. Click X on the SL and confirm the deletion of the SL
  5. You'd like to add a SL for the coins bought and can't.
    Is that correct?

If so,
a/ Deleting the SL will have closed the position as there were no longer any exit orders.
b/ You can add a SL or TP for those coins using the top part of the Trading Widget.
c/ You can't add a SL to the closed position.
d/ For your Break Even/Position calcs, you can delete the closed position containing only the Entry. That order can now be included in a new or existing date-based position. BE price etc. will be correct for the new position.

Agreed! Would be very nice if you could automatically place a SL/TP on an existing order with position sizes automatically calculated and price flagged on chart as well!
