Hello SC Support,

The reverse button on trade ticket window only flattens the trade. It should do the stop and reverse based on whatever quantity I am setting in the trade ticket. Example: if I have a 5 contract long open trade and I want to flatten all 5 + reverse just 1 short contract, I should be able to do this right? I am using Teton/IronBeam. It is only flattening the open trade without opening a short trade.

When selecting Reverse, it should close out the existing position and replace it with a position in the opposite direction with the quantity set for that chart.

What "Reverse" button are you selecting? Is this the "Reverse" button on the Trade Window, or one that is setup in a Control Bar or Keyboard Shortcut?

Is the Long position actually open, or is it a working order waiting to get filled?
