Maybe this ---> Chart Settings: Use Last In First Out Fill Matching (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

So enable it then, if you want LIFO instead of FIFO matching.

thanks, I digged more and I think found the origin thread of this matter here
Change trade order to LAST IN FIRST OUT | Post: 169367

and yes, definetely LIFO needs to be enabled
thank you !

question - is there any possibility to enable LIFO by default for each chart smwr in general settings not only separately on each chart, I suspect no but who knows ...
