Hi all

I am trying to accomplish an operation but doesnt work as I thought so :)
I've attached a screenshoot.
Well, this is is:
- say I opened long but the price went against me, under my entry point so I buy a contract under the entry point and sell after a few ticks/pips upper (still under the entry point or higher)

If I am doing so, when I hit sell, SC sells from the brakets order, not the one I just bought under the entry price.
Can it be done?
Thanks

Not really fully understanding this, if at all but make sure you are not using Scale In functionality:

Thank you!
Let me explain again, please, this is important for me to understand (attached a new pic)

The pic shows:

1) entered long
2) price lowered against me si I hit Buy (buy 1)
3) initial entry changed, lowered
4) hit buy again (buy 2)
5) price went up a tick and clicked Sell

So, after I hit Sell, 1 contract sold from initial position (see the red line) , not from Buy 2 entry.

Is it possible to for me to change any setting to make this work?

Appreciate it!

We still do not understand this. Maybe a user can help you.

If you are asking about how order fills are matched, refer to:

Maybe this is the answer: Order fills are always matched using a First in First Out matching method unless Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading >> Use Last In First Out Fill Matching is enabled.
or: Use Last In First Out Fill Matching

will test, thanks for the documentation link.

"Use Last In First Out Fill Matching" helped me to fix what I wanted.

thanks :))
