Post From: Issue with Copied Trades (No. of Contracts + SL Location)

Hello,

as a follow-up:
I took another SIM trade with scaling-in and copying the trade from SIM1 to SIM2 (multiplier 2) today.
And while I could not reproduce the exact same issue described in my initial post, there was still an issue with wrong quantities after I moved the SL in the origin chart manually to lock in more profit after the 1st TP at +4 ticks had been hit earlier. (The prior automatic movement of the SL to BE+1 did not have that effect.)

As soon as I moved the SL manually in the origin chart, the SL location was also changed in the SIM2 account...
BUT, instead of keeping the correct former quantity of 3 contracts being protected by the SL, the quantity was reduced by 1, so that only 2 contracts were left protected!

After another manual move down of the SL, when it eventually got hit, I therefore ended up with one contract still remaining open, but being unprotected now (no more stop loss in place)!

So, something is obviously wrong with the SC trade copier. It seems that multiplying the traded contracts by means of the "Allocation Trade Account Multiplier" leads to several problems.
(I have never had similar issues so far in accounts to which I copied using multiplier "1".)

I attached three pictures, which show how the SL contract quantity got changed and the unprotected remaining contract in SIM2.

Again, thank you for looking into it.
