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

Dear SC support team,
is there still no progress concerning the issues with the copier?

After a break, not using it for a few weeks, I have taken the first trade using it again today (multiplier: 2)...and things got messed up again, leading to me losing money in the account the trade was copied to.

This time, of the 4 contracts that were supposed to be entered for a long trade on a limit order, apparently only 2 were filled. Fair enough, that happens. But obviously the quantity of contracts of the stop loss was messed up, because after the 1st TP got hit (in both accounts), I locked in some profit by moving the SL up accordingly in the origin account; and once it got hit, in the account I copied the trade to not only was the remaining contract closed, but instead a 1 contract reverse position was opened because of that wrong contract quantity in the SL order.
By the time I noticed it and flattened the trade manually, I had already lost money.
(And as MCL can move really fast, I did not even have the chance to double-check the contract quantities of the TP and SL orders before...).

EDIT: Looking over my screenshots, I noticed that not only for the stop loss order, but also for the remaining take profit order the quantity of contracts got messed up after the SL order had been moved in the origin account; so, had the TP order been hit instead of the SL order in the account the trade got copied to, a reverse position would have been opened, too.

I hope you'll soon find the time to fix any issues of the trade copier, because as it is right now, it is outright dangerous to use it.
