Looking into the sc options for trading from the platform. If trading multiple lots I'm not seeing an easy way to scale out of trades w/out unchecking the "use attached orders" check box and adjusting the size. Do I need to use multiple trade windows w/ different contract levels? For example, entering a 3 lot limit entry, with only a stop (no target) how could I quickly and manually take one lot off, and move the stop to b/e with only 2 contracts? Some platforms have manual scale and manual b/e buttons...it could simplify matters locating them on the condensed trade window below the "use attached orders" check box. |

Refer to: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_AttachedOrders.html#ScalingOut For the move to breakeven for the stop, that would have to be manually done.

Seems to work ok using the pre-set trade buttons for scales, but my issue seems to be having to manually change quantities. There should be a setting somewhere to pre determine the scale out/in quantity. As it is I'll likely need to use multiple doms/trade windows.

I agree, you should be able to set a qty for scale out/in.Other thing I found is I had to go into each attached order and set the "Support Scale-In" and "Support Scale-Out" and then save configuration for all attached orders. |
