Hello, I have always kept the quantities for profit target orders at the default which for a parent quantity of 100 with three targets that amounts to Target 1 Qty:33 Target 2 Qty:33 and Target 3 Qty:34 in the Trade Window. I tried to change that by entering different quantities, for example Target 1 Qty:50 Target 2 Qty:30 and Target 3 Qty:20 then saved the configuration. When I select it from the drop down at the top of the Trade Window it loads correctly and shows the new numbers, however if I select another Qty button tab below the Flatten Reverse Cancel All row of buttons on the Trade Window and then check the Targets again they revert back to the default which is divided into thirds. I went through each of the six tabs that allow for different quantities and set all their OCO orders to new percentages to reflect the percentages I was trying to get, 50% 30% and 20%, I saved after each one and when I went back and selected the various buttons, they all revert back to 33% 33% 34% for a parent order with three profit targets. |

The system does not know that you have separated your targets by a percentage value. Therefore, when you change the quantity, it is going to change the targets to, as close to, an even distribution as it can. Re-selecting the Trade Configuration will get you back to the total Quantity and the specific distribution you set for that quantity. But that is just for that particular amount.
