Average position changing on DOM when scaling out

When averaging down into a position (long) How do I set up my DOM so that the average position price stays the same and does not move after I scale out of my contracts.

(example)
If buy one contract at 10 then one again at 5 then one again at 2 my average should be 5.66 but when I start to scale out, one at a time, the average price changes on the DOM and moves around after each sell order. It should always stay at the same 5.66 after I average down? Then my scale outs should be based on the 5.66 average.

Please advise on how I need to set this up

Much Thanks!
