Hi, Not sure why my charts are changing how orders are handled but they have. I've set a simple bracket with two orders. I can't just hit an X on one of the TPs because it just deletes that and keeps one whole position. For the past few months I've toggled with the Trade window settings while in a live trade from hitting the check box on Scale in, which has always allowed me to remove a trade while keeping the scale out checked. For example, I'm in a buy and market is close to my first TP and I just want to go ahead TP before target hits so normal I just hit the Sell market 1 qty and it would usually exit that and give me my TP for that qty. Now, for whatever reason the order is removing itself and entering an actual sell order, going opposite my trade. I've only kept the scale in checked when I plan on adding more to the live trade, however this has gone haywire. ANyone know why and how to fix this?! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-11-17 19:34:49

Something is not adding up in what you are stating. Here is how we interpret what you have stated: - Open a Buy position with a quantity of 2 and Attached Orders. - Select the "Sell" button for a quantity of 1. - Position is closed out and a Sell position is put in place. Since you make the statement that "market is close to my first TP and I just want to go ahead TP before market hits" makes us think that this is a timing issue, where either the market actually hits the TP before your Sell order gets in, or your Sell order gets in before you actually close the TP. In either case, you are ending up with a Sell position of quantity 1. Let us know if what we are stating reflects your situation, or if there is something else going on that we are not understanding.

Yes, it's like you explained it. Except I'm trading MNQ and exiting positions that would still leave one open. But instead of just closing an exit it ends up placing one in. It appears after all positions have been closed out. It does it on and off. - open a buy position with 3 orders and attached - select the sell button for qty 1, leaving 2 open - once all three are closed there ones a sell left open |

The main thing to do is to look through your Trade Activity Log and piece together the different Orders that are occurring to see why you are getting this extra item. The information is in there, you just need to do the detective work to put the pieces together to find the answer.
