Hi,

I have attached a pic with a description of what I am hoping to do. In a nutshell I am looking to reverse my position by increasing my target size whilst the trade is in play, with the new reversed position having attached stop and target orders. I know this is possible with the reverse button and an opposite market order with more quantity than the position in play however, I would like to be able to do this via the target limit so I am entering the market on a limit rather than a market order and paying the spread which on the contract I trade (HSI) can sometimes be half my stop loss.

I looked through the documentation but could not find this.

Thanks for your assistance.

Thank you. I tried this in simulation and it will work. The orders don't merge and keep separate when overlayed on one another which is useful.
