Post From: Scaling into position issue

Hello,

I am having an issue scaling into a position with BitMEX.

I am using a simple bracket order with attachments; a stop-limit for the parent, and 2 stops and 1 profit target. Taking half off the position when I reach my risk.

So the issue is, when I place an order (we will call this order A) with attachments, and it fills, then when I add to my position at higher price, and place another order (we will call this order B) when order B fills and gets stopped out, my new position is not the price I was originally filled at with order A. It is the price I was filled with order B. Which causes me to have a higher liquidation price.

As I scale into a position, I need the parent orders that are filled to only be closed by the attached orders they were originally submitted with.

In the previous example, order A's parent order was closed by order B's attached stop-loss. Which was the problem in a nutshell.
