Post From: SuppotReversals with limit order question

I have:

1. SupportReversals = 1
2. CancelAllOrdersOnEntriesAndReversals = 1
3. Using Limit orders
4. Using OCO's target/price through ACSIL (not trade window)

have a couple of questions:
1. When reversal happens original OCO's are canceled and new limit order is placed. I.e., exit orders from original trade are canceled before the new order limit order gets filled. I saw this mentioned in the docs I think and see this in the trade log. Just want to double check this is intended behavior as it seems quite strange.

2. Say I am short 1 with oco orders to exit. I have a reversal to go long 1. New order is placed for 2 contracts but so are the new OCO's (they are also quantity 2). So when new limit order gets filled, I am long one but my exit orders are quantity of 2. I expect to have OCO qty of 1. Does this make sense?
