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

1. I thought I remembered that the fills were pretty realistic on the few occasions I used SIM in the past (e.g. not always getting filled on touch of price etc.).
But maybe I was wrong.

2. I was happy to read that this function is available and immediately activated it today.
However, to my disappointment it did not work at all in two trades I took today (in 2 different accounts (both using Rithmic order routing)).
All contracts that were sitting at my 1st take profit were filled in both cases, however NOTHING happened to the stop loss. It was supposed to get moved to breakeven + 2 acc. to my settings in both cases...but that did not happen.
I could not really figure it out from the trade activity logs what the issue was. It seemed that while the complete fill of the order was considered for the modification of the remaining contract quantity at the stop loss order, the supposed movement to BE+2 as per my settings was completely ignored in both trades.

Could it be that this function is just not working properly, yet?

On a side note:
I modified the quantity of contracts held at the TP 1 order whilst in the trade in both cases.
(Because unfortunately proper even distribution in case of scaling in with single contracts on additional entries I asked for in mid September ( Scaling In: Even Distribution + Adjusting Take Profit Order Based on Average Entry Price ) apparently still isn't available, so the contract quantities are always heavily skewed to one take profit order, which is why I sometimes modify them, distributing them more evenly manually.)
It appears that those quantity modifications also sometimes lead to issues. Maybe also in this case?...
EDIT: In one of the trades I INCREASED the quantity of contracts at TP1, in the other one I DECREASED it.
