Okay. now I understand. I didn't realize the trade window was attached to an exclusive chart. I thought because I had 3 different charts with the same symbol on it that it would work.

As you found out, each chart has its own Trade Window. You can link the trade windows so they are the same in all charts. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Chart Linking >> Trade Window (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Linking menu)


Also, is there a setting to change for this.... I have a stop for two contract on the chart. I sell 1 with a limit order or something. can SC know to reduce the remaining stop by 1 contract?

What you need to do depends on how the reduction in position occurs.

It it happens automatically through one of the targets getting filled, but not the other, then as long as the Targets and Stop are attached orders and that the Stop is set to All OCO Groups (as we described above), then this will occur automatically.

If, however, you reduce the position by selecting the Buy/Sell button (or buy/sell on the chart, etc.) then you would want to ensure that you have the Scale Out option enabled to reduce the position. Refer to the following:
Attached Orders: Scaling Out
