Post From: Scaling Out With Spreadsheet Trading Systems

I have a simple spreadsheet trading system with one chart. When an entry signal has been given, I would like to generate a stop loss order and a limit target order for a fraction of the size of the initial position, so that the quantity of the stop loss is reduced to the remaining size once the limit order has been filled. I can generate the two as attached orders, but then there seems to be no way of setting the size of the target order to anything but the full position size. The alternative is only to create an attached stop order while using Buy/Sell Exit to create the limit order with the correct quantity. But now I have to enable "Cancel all working orders on exit" for this to work at all, and this means the entire stop order is cancelled as soon as the limit order is hit. So, my question is whether I am missing something or whether this kind of thing should be done with ACSIL.
