Let's say I am trading one contract, with a simple bracket. I have 2 ways to submit the bracket: 1) By having "Use Attached Orders" checked 2) By not having it checked, and sending the bracket after I am already in the trade I like to do 2, because I have the option of seeing how the trade is doing and sending them later by choosing either "Sent attached order by Price" or "Sent attached order by Position". Sometimes I won't even use a bracket. So far so good. The problem is that if I change the number of contracts to say 2, the target size & stop size would update correctly (to 2) if and only if "Use Attached Orders" is checked. If it is not checked, the target & stop size would stay at 1. I think this should update to 2 as well whether "Use Attached Orders" is checked or not. Let us keep in mind that "Use Attached Orders" not being checked does not prevent me from utilizing brackets after I am already in a position. As I have pointed out earlier, I just need to use "Sent attached order by Price" or "Sent attached order by Position" |

This is how it is designed and will not change: If it is not checked, the target & stop size would stay at 1.

But why is that? I think I gave my reasoning behind why the quantity should change. Maybe let us know why it was designed the way it was and we will find some work around
