I have a saved configuration which is set to:

Target 1 = Qty:2
Target 2 = Qty:1
Target 3 = Qty:1

It works for a while then it resets itself to:
Target 1 = Qty:1 <<
Target 2 = Qty:1
Target 3 = Qty:2 <<

How can I prevent this reset?

The only things we can think of that would cause this would be the following:
- Changing the configuration file that is in use by selecting it through a Control Bar button. Refer to the following:
Control Bar: Control Bar Trade Window Configuration Buttons

- The Trade Window is linked with another chart and the other chart trade window was changed. Refer to the following:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Linking Trade Window Configuration Between Charts

- You are actually looking at a trade window for a different chart and the original trade window is still correct. Refer to the following:

Thank you. I am on 2383

I do not use the control bar to open a trade window, I leave it open.

I only have two charts in this chart book, and only one has a trade window.

There is only one trade window open. When I delete the associated chart (only for this discussion) that trade window closes.

This would happen when changing the parent order quantity.

I see. This negatively impacts ones ability to scale in or out without altering the target values.

Can this be fixed?

I know this is an old thread but this same behavior still exists when switching quantities as far as I can tell. Is there a way to lock targets per quantity?

There is not a way to "lock" the quantities to particular targets. The solution is to use an Order Configuration when making a change to ensure that the quantities for the attached orders are setup the way you want them to be. Refer to the following:
