Posted this yesterday but didn't get a reply. Probably just have a setting wrong, but can't figure it out. ..... I'm trying to have this scenario work. I trade 5 lot positions. Sometimes I want to scalp 3 of those lots at 4,5,6 targets and hold the other 2 lots. Sometimes I do not want to scalp out of the first 3 until later, or maybe not at all. I would like to have a hotkey that I press, and a targets 4,5,6 go out based on my position entry price. I currently have the below configured: (and it's doing what I want it to do, but the issue is my original attached orders for the 10 stop and 20 target are not adjusting once the 456 hotkey order fills) Enter a long position: 5 lot position with a trade configuration that has a stop (all at -10) and target (all at 20) attached. Scale In selected Scale out selected Press hotkey for "sell send attached orders-Position" This hotkey is programmed to a trade configuration target 1 4T Qty 1 target 2 5T Qty 1 target 3 6T Qty 1 UNCHECKED "Use attached orders" Scale in selected Scale out selected And this is what happens. I enter a long trade with 5 lots. Press hotkey to sell 1 lot at 4,5,6 targets 4,5,6 targets fill But my current -10 stop and +20 open targets do not adjust to the current open position size of 2 lots, and they're both still at the original 5 lot size. Is there a way to make the above work so the original attached +20 target and -10 stop orders adjust to the resulting open position lot amount? I understand that I could set a configuration that held all of the orders as non attached (-10 stop, 4,5,6,20 targets) and then I could press hotkey to send the non attached orders. But, in a couple of scenarios I wouldn't want that to happen that way and would prefer to do what I listed above if possible. Thanks |
