The ownership of the company are well aware of your statements, as they keep up with this support board.

We have tried to understand what you are wanting, and every time we read through this, we come to the same conclusion. You are talking about a Manual trade and you want your +1 position to change to a -2. We took the -2 from your statement above of "Now if this order fills, it will offset the current +1 long and the active position will be -2 ?"

We can not determine how what we have stated previously of using a Stop-Limit with a quantity of -3 does not solve your question.

Here is how we interpret what you have asked for: You are in an long position and have passed through the first 2 targets, which has left you with a +1 position. You then want to reverse that position at a certain level, instead of closing the position with the last target. Therefore, you would enter a Stop Limit of -3 at the price point you want, and when the price hits it, you will be in a -2 Short position.

Also, there is a "Flatten and Reverse" button on the Trade Window that will reverse your position.

We have explained our interpretation multiple ways in order to explain how and why we have come to the conclusion you have. We have not made any derogatory statements towards you in the process. You do not like our answer, therefore we have turned this into a User Discussion, as hopefully another customer will understand what you want. We will not respond further.
