Spreadsheet System for Trading - Trade Order Error

View Count: 1437

I am using the Spreadsheet System for Trading for the first time. The rules I defined have triggered a simulated trade as expected but I am getting the following Trade Order Error (in quotes below) repeatedly in the Trade Service Log.

"Trade Order Error: The order quantity for the Parent is 1 and this is less than the total order quantity of 6 for the Attached Orders. Adjust the order quantities so the parent is greater or equal to the Attached Orders. | 2017-11-16 09:54:29 *"

I have spent a lot of time in your online docs and have not found the solution.

Help pls.

Did you want to use Attached Orders for that automated trade? If not,then uncheck Use Attached Orders on the Trade Window for the chart:

Or you need to remove any additional Targets and Stops, so there is not more than one each.

I want the spreadsheet to enter the trade with 6 targets defined in the "Trade Window" with "Use Attached Orders" checked and then manually work the trade. Is this possible?

OK, then what you need to do is set the Order Quantity on the Sheet to 6. Refer to:
