Hello, I am facing a problem where the order quantity of my profit target does not get updated. for example, I will place an attached order with long 2 contracts, two different profit targets. When I add one more contract to 3 in total then the first profit target still remain 1 contract and the second will be 2. The problem occurs when I change the first profit target to 2 contracts and get out so remaining contract I have is only 1 long but the second profit target will still remain 2 sell contracts and eventually when prices go up to my second PT then It will result in 1 short contract. I have cancel all orders on flat out, scale in/out, maintain same quantity for OCO group checked. |

First, is this with Sierra Chart Trade Simulation Mode? Yes this is normal and expected: When I add one more contract to 3 in total then the first profit target still remain 1 contract and the second will be 2.
Do not manually change the order quantities: The problem occurs when I change the first profit target to 2 contracts and get out so remaining contract I have is only 1 long but the second profit target will still remain 2 sell contracts and eventually when prices go up to my second PT then It will result in 1 short contract.
