Scaling A Position - Simple Bracket

I like using the scaling method when entering a position. However, how do I keep each trade separate? I dont like how early orders are executed when I've placed orders after. For example say I enter a long trade @ 100.01. As it moves up I want to add more so I add again at 100.15 with a stop @ 100.01. If the stop to the second entry gets hit, Sierra treats that stop as the initial trade I entered @ 100.01. This is very frustrating. I want to have each trade stick to its own brackets

If you want to have separate brackets for your orders, then you want to turn OFF the Scale In feature. Refer to the following:
Attached Orders: Scaling In

Just be aware that there is only 1 position line that will give the average price of your open positions. Refer to the following:
