Example: I buy 4 contracts and have 4 TPs price levels set in attached orders, along with a stop set based on multiple triggers. If I manually TP for 1 contract (selling 1 contract without attached orders), how do I have the stop loss adjust the quantity based on the open quantity on the P&L line? I'd prefer this to be automated. My screenshot show a sample where I have 4 TPs and I manually sold 1 contract but the stop loss TQ still shows 4 contracts and 1 contract SL can't be manually removed like the TPs.

The best way to do this is to move one of the TPs to below the current price (or above in the case of a Short position). This will cause that TP to fill at the current market price closing that TP and automatically adjusting the Stop quantity based on that sibling order fill. Just make sure that your trading service allows you to do this, as sometimes they will not allow a Limit to be put below the current price (since it would automatically fill).
