How to Update Stop Quantity as I Scale Out of a Trade

View Count: 132

Scenario:

I take a long trade on NQ using the Chart Trader window. I enter 5 contracts with attached orders enabled.
My attached order is a stop loss (Stop: Stop Order), and there is no profit target.

As I scale out of the position one contract at a time (1/5th), my stop loss order does not update its quantity — it remains at 5.

How can I set it to automatically adjust as I scale out?

You need to use the "Scale Out" option. Refer to the following:
