Reverse-button problem

If I trade 2 contracts I always enter with 2 single contracts (not 2) that I can manage the trades better. From time to time I want to reverse my trade but the system just reverses 1 contract. Not sure where I can find the correct setting to reverse both.

The reversal will be for the quantity you have set for that chart at that time. Since you are entering into a position with a quantity of 1 each time, you must still have the quantity set to 1 when you select the "Reverse" option. If you want a quantity of 2 after the reversal, then you need to set that quantity prior to the reversal. Refer to the following for ways to change the quantity: Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Changing Order Quantity For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Ah ok, thanks John, I thought there is a similar setting as I had in the past with the BE-button, there was a setting that I could trail both to BE (and not just 1). No problem, so in this case I've to change the quantity to 2 (I guess twice clicking Reverse will not help). I don't use it very often (because most of the time Reverse is a bad idea :) )

John, once more, would be really nice if you could change this, I trade since 15+ years and know most available trading-platforms, but SC is the only one that doesn't reverse the entire open position hitting the reverse-button. Yes I prefer entering the trades with quantity 1, though I trade 2 or 3 contracts (because the brackets are better to manage).

Thanks John, perhaps a similar solution as the BE-button (last or all) would be good.
