I hope this does not require ASCIL programming. I have M>ScaleIn and Scaleout order enabled. Max order qty under Global symbol settings is set to 5. Trade ticket quantity is set to 1 contract. I buy and sell at every signal (when trade is in profit) up to max number of 5 contracts. Exit all when daily max profit/loss target is met. Everything works great except: - I have SL attached order and I want to move SL to BE via trade ticket settings. The attached order exits only one contract and not all 5 open contracts. (It could be anywhere between 2 and 5 contracts based on generated signal) Any help or direction would be great ! |

If you have Scale In enabled and when you add additional contracts to the open order, as long as you have the Stop Loss attached order setup, then it should add to the Stop Loss, so you should have the same quantity. It sounds like you may not have the attached orders enabled when you are adding to your position. Refer to the following: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Use Attached Orders The fastest way to change your setup for the Trade Window is to use the Trade Configurations. Refer to the following: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Using and Changing Between Different Trade Window and Attached Orders Configurations We are not sure what exactly you are wanting to do with the Move to Breakeven.

Thanks John. I was just able to identify the problem. My Buy/Sell Entry alert condition studies had the setting enabled to cancel all orders on entry and reverse.
