How to keep OCO's Independentent

I have an OCO for one contract with a simple profit target and stop. It works fine.

However, if I add another contract with the same OCO, Sierra adds to the original stop and profit targets (no matter where price is). So now I have "2" contracts with the same profit and stop target.

I want to keep those separate so I can adjust them individually. How can I do that?

Make sure this option is disabled on the Trade Window:

Ok, I unchecked the support scale in/out settings in the order window. That works.

However, every time I switch OCO's, they come back. I looked and can't see how to stop this globally?

We do not understand what you mean by this:

Say I'm using OCO #1 to place the trade with. I have removed the checkmarks for scale in/scale in the order settings.

Now, for the next trade, if I switch to OCO #2, the scale in/scale out checkmarks reappear and I have to remove them again.

Every time I switch to a different OCO, the scale in/scale out checkmarks are back. I do not want them and have to uncheck them every time I switch to a different OCO.

If you are referring to "Trade Configurations", then you would need to resave these with the Scaling In/Out options set as you want them to be for that configuration. Refer to the following:
