Post From: Break-even button does not take scaling in into account

When using attached orders and scale-in is enabled, the BE (break-even) button will always move the stop to the original parent order avg fill price. This matches the current documentation.

This causes unintended consequences when using scale-in functionality to add to a position. The scale-in changes the average fill price, potentially making it worse than the original avg fill price. In this case, when the BE button is pressed, the stop is moved to original parent avg fill price, and can execute immediately instead of moving to the position avg fill price.

The BE button should really be looking at the current position avg price, not the original parent order avg fill price.
