Hi, Scaling in with bracket order works absolutely fine BUT when I scale out then the main order is not scaled out. I haven't noticed what happens to the attached target and stop order. The weirdest thing is that this is working fine in Trade Simulation mode, BUT doesn't work in LIVE mode. PS: I am using hot keys for scale in/scale out AND I am scaling in and out with market orders. Can you please take a look? thanks V Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-03-22 02:21:55

Scale Out functionality only affects Attached Orders.

Hi, I am not sure if I understand your reply. I will give an example So I send a bracket order with quantity 1 where parent gets filled (buy) at 3000 lets say. The attached orders are stop and target. Then at 3001, I scale in with another buy at market. At this stage I am at position of 2 contracts. The attached orders correspondingly get incremented by 1 each. Now at 3002, I want to scale out and sell one contract. So I sell 1 contract at market but in this case I think parent order remains at +2 and does not scale out. Interestingly this works in simulation but not in live. Thanks |

Could this be the reason? 'Rejected Market Order When Using Flatten or Reverse Because of Position Limit Exceeded' - Does it apply to scale out as well. |

Yes that likely is the reason. This would be the only reasonable explanation.
