Post From: Scale out nearest

Hi,

When the market is trending and i've scaled in a few positions, when I take profit and scale out, the oldest (best priced position) is scaled out instead of the nearest one. I have my Scale Out set to 'Nearest Orders'. I looked at the documentation for scale out nearest (https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GlobalTradeSettings.html&CAID=default#ScaleOut):

"When Scaling Out functionality is enabled for a chart or Trading DOM, then a setting of Nearest means the orders which are nearest to the current price are decreased in quantity or cancelled when the order for which Scaling Out functionality applies, is filled"

Not sure why this is happening, any ideas?

Thanks
S
