v2325, IB/SC Feed, Scale In Even Distribution, Server Side OCO/Bracket Orders, Live trading.

On partial fills and adding to a position, brackets still distribute orders unevenly.

This occurred again today v2345. Sold 3 contracts, sold 3 more contracts, orders split unevenly despite settings attached.

We need a very precise explanation of why you believe there is a problem with the even distribution. We have no specific information from you on this.

You need to explain what Attached Orders exist, and the quantity of the scale in order, and how it was distributed and how you want it distributed.

And the Attached Orders that receive the distribution, must be part of the same original set of orders.

There was a position of short 3 contracts established , with an attached stop and target, and an add of short 3 more contracts with an attached stop and target, with Scale In enabled and Even Distribution, for a total of 6 contracts short. The Orders log for these 2 trades only is attached.

My understanding is the stops and targets should have been split evenly with a quantity of 3 contracts for each stop and target each, but the orders were split into 2 and 4 as shown in the attached image. I'm not sure which setting may not be working or I have set wrong to cause this.

A quantity of 3 cannot be evenly distributed, across 2 orders. Basically what you are looking for is even distribution with the remainder on the nearest order? Rather than the furthest.



We can add an option for that.
