Post From: Partially closing a trade

Here's an example

I open a trade with qty 2. StopAll is set. Target 1 and Target 2 is set. Before the stop or target is reached, I want to close half the position (qty 1) at mkt. At some point during the trade, I may want to add more positions to the trade at mkt. Is this possible or even recommended?

Logically it's one trade but programmatically I was thinking of opening 2 different trades, but then I'll have to manually manage things like if only 1 of the 2 trades executed properly, etc... What do you guys recommend?
