Post From: Partial Fills Messing Up Trade Management + SL Movement

Dear SC Support Team, I have two issues/requests I would like to present today, please: 1. Partial Fills Messing Up Trade Management By now I have experienced at least twice that the automated trade management gets messed up (as in adjusting the quantity of remaining contracts in a wrong way), whenever a take profit target is only filled partially. Today I had a short trade, into which I scaled in, ending up with 5 short contracts before the 1st take profit target got reached. Unfortunately, only 1 of the 5 contracts got filled there. Because I set the trade management in a way that the stop loss gets moved to break even + 2 ticks when the "OCO group 1" gets triggered, the SL was then moved to that position. But instead of adjusting the quantity of contracts to 4 now because of the partial fill of one contract, it remained at 5. That in turn led to 5 contracts being bought when that SL got hit, instead of only 4, which resulted in a "reverse position" for one contract, which I then had to flatten manually, as soon as I noticed it. A trade that should have been a winning trade ended up losing money. Can you please look into fixing this problem? That would be appreciated. I attached a screenshot of the Trade Activity of that particular trade along with a few annotations. That above trade leads me to the second issue/request, which I'd like to address on this occasion: 2. SL to Breakeven Functionality ("Trigger OCO Group"): As it is now, the "Move to Breakeven for Stop" functionality, when set to "Trigger OCO Group 1", moves the stop loss whenever at least ONE of the contracts is filled on the 1st take profit (so, also in case of a partial fill, only). Is there a chance you might implement an (optional) functionality that this function only gets triggered if ALL contracts of that take profit order are filled (complete fill)? That would be a very welcome feature which would be highly appreciated. (Now, you might say that I could make sure that all contracts are filled before the SL is moved by choosing the "Offset in Ticks Triggered" option and then choosing a trigger offset which is 1 tick more than the initial take profit in ticks. However, unfortunately that is not possible for me, because I sometimes adjust the take profit distance when already in the trade.) Thank you very much in advance for looking into it and your feedback.
