Hello, I have Support Scale In and Out enabled. Scenario 1: I am long 3 contracts of /ES, and I have an OCO in place that has 2 targets, and a stop for both contracts. Sell scenario 1: I manually market sell 1 contract - I have confirmed that if my stop gets hit, it only stops me out on 1 contract, leaving 1 contract left - there are no stops in place at this point. Scenario 2: I am long 2 contracts of /ES, and I have an OCO in place that has 2 targets, and a stop for both contracts. Sell scenario 1: I manually market buy 2 more contracts for a total of 4 contracts. How do I make sure that these additional 2 contracts are added to the existing targets, and how to ensure that my stop order is updated to reflect that I want to stop out of all 4 contracts? Please forgive my ignorance, but I am coming from NinjaTrader where these are somewhat automatic for the most part. I just want to make sure that I get this process down before live trading. |
