Post From: error message when placing orders

With this particular scenario, it does make sense you would get the error indicating that there is not a match between the parent order quantity and the Attached Orders because you are reversing.

When you are reversing, with Attached Orders, what happens is that there is an order used to flatten the position, and another order to establish a new position with Attached Orders.

For the 2nd order with its Attached Orders, it's quantity is 1 in this case. However, your Attached Order configuration consists of 2 targets. This is not going to work. So you need to define another Attached Order configuration that consist of only a single target and stop and save that. You then need to switch to this before you do a reverse. See:

We don't see why you would have a problem like this when increasing an existing position. That does not really make sense, and we need an image of that.
