With 'Support Scale In' checked and 'Use Attached Orders' checked: 1) Manually pressing the Buy Mkt button will: -increment position size -increment child order quantity -maintain child orders' initial price This is expected behavior. 2) Using the Spreadsheet System for Trading study, scale-in entries will: -increment position size -not increment child order quantity beyond initial position size. -move child orders with Position Average Price, maintaining initial offsets. -Unchecking 'Support Scale In' produces the same result. This is not expected behavior. Please advise. |

The problem is not with the Scale In functionality because that works consistently no matter how the order has been entered. We will run a basic test and verify.

Essentially what you are describing is that the Scale In functionality is not triggering and there are new Attached Orders submitted. The Scale In functionality works under certain conditions and can be used no matter how the order is submitted whether from a Spreadsheet or not. The documentation is here: Attached Orders: Scaling In We had no trouble using Scale In through a Spreadsheet Trading for System study. We submitted market orders on the same side, and the existing Attached Orders incremented. Make sure you are enabling Scale In on the Trade Window associated with the chart. It is likely you are not and that is the reason for the problem. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

After further investigation, autotrading Scale In using Attached Orders is not working as expected because 'Cancel All Orders On Entries And Reversals' is set to Yes. However, this must be set to Yes because 'Support Reversals' is also set to Yes. It seems autotrading Scale In using Attached Orders and autotrading Reversals using Attached Orders are mutually exclusive. If I manually scale in using the Buy Mkt button, working orders are incremented and not canceled, as expected. If I manually use the Reverse button, working orders are canceled and replaced, as expected. Can 'Cancel All Orders On Entries And Reversals' be separated into two separate settings so that autotrading has the same functionality? |

Can 'Cancel All Orders On Entries And Reversals' be separated into two separate settings so that autotrading has the same functionality? Yes this is possible but it is involved.Not likely we are going to be able to get to it for a couple of months. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Letting you know we already added Cancel All Orders on Reversals about a two months ago as a separate setting. We still need to add Cancel All Orders on Entries. This should be done in the next few days.
