Post From: Scale out nearest

Hi,

I tested out the latest build but the functionality is still the same from what I can tell, but I think you may have misunderstood what I was asking.

Essentially the functionality would be to support the following scenario:

I 'shorted the top' of a move and add 2 more positions on the way down. 1st position was 50.00, 2nd was 49.00 and 3rd was 48.00. Price reaches a place where a pullback is likely and I decide to scale out 1 of my positions. If I set a buy limit and it gets filled, then at the moment with scale out set to 'nearest orders', the 1st position is still being closed instead of the 3rd (and nearest).

This doesn't make sense to me, I'm not sure why anyone would want to do this. Reason being with 'nearest orders' set I would expect that the 1st position should remain until 3rd and THEN 2nd have been closed. However, with 'furthest orders' set then 1st position should be closed, then 2nd then 3rd. This is what I was expecting at least

Thanks
