Post From: Odd Trade Window # of contract change behavior

Let's say I am trading one contract, with a simple bracket. I have 2 ways to submit the bracket:
1) By having "Use Attached Orders" checked
2) By not having it checked, and sending the bracket after I am already in the trade

I like to do 2, because I have the option of seeing how the trade is doing and sending them later by choosing either "Sent attached order by Price" or "Sent attached order by Position". Sometimes I won't even use a bracket. So far so good.

The problem is that if I change the number of contracts to say 2, the target size & stop size would update correctly (to 2) if and only if "Use Attached Orders" is checked. If it is not checked, the target & stop size would stay at 1. I think this should update to 2 as well whether "Use Attached Orders" is checked or not. Let us keep in mind that "Use Attached Orders" not being checked does not prevent me from utilizing brackets after I am already in a position. As I have pointed out earlier, I just need to use "Sent attached order by Price" or "Sent attached order by Position"
