Post From: Spreadsheet autotrading scale-in is functioning differently than manual scale-in

With 'Support Scale In' checked and 'Use Attached Orders' checked:

1) Manually pressing the Buy Mkt button will:
-increment position size
-increment child order quantity
-maintain child orders' initial price
This is expected behavior.

2) Using the Spreadsheet System for Trading study, scale-in entries will:
-increment position size
-not increment child order quantity beyond initial position size.
-move child orders with Position Average Price, maintaining initial offsets.
-Unchecking 'Support Scale In' produces the same result.
This is not expected behavior.

Please advise.
