Scale in not working if second entry order is placed in advance

Hi,

I am trying to use bracket orders(with scale in/out enabled) to enter a position with two limit orders that are set in advance. The first limit is the bracket order, then I have a single limit lower to scale in. If I place these orders in advance the bracket gets filled and then when the add gets filled the stop and target quantities don’t update.

If I wait for the initial bracket to fill THEN add the limit for the second entry, the quantities do update. But is there any way I could make this work setting up orders to scale-in in advance?

Thanks

From Item #6 of the requirements to be able to scale in:
There are already Attached Orders working on your trade account for the symbol. Attached Orders that are in a Pending Child/Server state are not considered.

You will find the above statement at the following link:
