alright lads, say i place an order for 2 contracts with attached orders enabled.... then say i manually change the attached order to 1 and leave the charts to progress whilst i'm away from my computer.... what is happening when my attached order for 1 is reached is that the attached orders completely disappear and i have to manually 'send attached order by position'. the problem with this is that neither the points or money value show on the new attached orders. i hope that makes sense?

surely if one of the contracts fulfils the attached order and there's still one left, they should still show at least 1 right?

We are not understanding what the question is.

If you change the order quantity of one of your working orders and that working order is hit, then you will reduce your open position by a quantity of 1. So you will still have an open position, but without a working order to protect it.

If your question is about the display of information for the working orders when you use "Send Attached Order by Position/Price", then that is just the way it is. Those orders are not directly tied to the original position order like the attached orders are when they are entered with the original position.

When we put in an order for a quantity of 2, and then change the quantity in one of the the working orders (Target) to a value of 1, the displayed values do not change. Attached are images of what we see.

Can you please explain what you are doing, or give us some images, so we can better understand the situation.
