Hello: I am trying to understand what it means to switch the values of sc.SupportTradingScaleOut in a study? Can it only be set once for a run of the study? I have a case where I want to be able to scaleOut during the lifetime of a bar except on the bar close, when I may place an opposite order with attached orders in my study. I have tried: sc.SupportTradingScaleIn = 1;
if (sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() != BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED) sc.SupportTradingScaleOut = 1; else { sc.SupportTradingScaleOut = 0; //Submit order to create an opposite order with attached orders does not create attached orders, only the opposite order. If I always have sc.SupportTradingScaleOut = 0; , then when the opposite order is created, it also has attached orders. But this means I cannot use the ScaleOut at all.

Change BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED
to BHCS_BAR_HAS_NOT_CLOSED
sc.SupportTradingScaleIn = 1;
if (sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() != BHCS_BAR_HAS_NOT_CLOSED) sc.SupportTradingScaleOut = 1; else sc.SupportTradingScaleOut = 0; //Submit order to create an opposite order with attached orders does not create attached orders, only the opposite order. |

In which case != also changes to ==, correct?

I have tried this, and still the same behavior - if (sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() == BHCS_BAR_HAS_NOT_CLOSED)
sc.SupportTradingScaleOut = 1; else if (sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED) { sc.SupportTradingScaleOut = 0; //Submit order to create an opposite order with attached orders does not create attached orders, only the opposite order. |

Yes that is the code I meant to use. Not sure why it isn't working for you.

it is likely that the trade is not fully processed and you already set ScaleOut back to 1. you should likely check for the order to be in SCT_OSC_OPEN status before switch the ScaleOut state.
