Simon-Stop loss on futures

Simon. I set a stop loss on a futures. When I check on the system it says I have not set any stopllosses. Is a stop loss on a future only valid for a day meaning I must reset the stoplosses every morning. This is gettin to be an issue because the market being the way it is at the moment keeps catching me unawares. With a 12-18hour schedule I simply dont always have the time to reset every day.

i tried to set a dtop loss this morning but it seems that it isn't being calculated properly. Short EXX but i want to set a stop loss of 400c but the system just adds the value on to the bid price i.e. 10653c cost price but trailing stop loss 10653400c??? Please help, this is no fun

valid for 30 days. An remember two things, if you have an inverse order (ie, buy if short or sell if long) in the market for the SSF you own the stop loss will not trigger. Secondly set the stop loss level on the SSF price, not the underlying price. Work out the SSF price from the matrix.

Is it possible for SBK to install Stop Losses linked to the Underlying Share Price?
