Hi John,

I have looked at the log it does appear that there are 2 stops being cancelled on first scale out if I am reading correctly:

Log is as follows:
OrderTypeQuantityBuySell PoistionQuantity  
Market 1 Buy 1
Market  1  Buy  2
Market  1  Buy  3
Market  1  Sell  2
Market  1  Sell  1
Market  1  Sell  

Order log from first scale out:

Every order was placed with attached oco orders which contain 1 target and 1 stop. They were placed with 'buy market' and scaling out using 'sell market'

I can see when the orders are placed that the stop orders go up sequentially. 1-2-3 However when marketing out jump from 3 to 1

Is there some setting I am missing on why the scale outs would have more stops associated?
