Scenario: I take a long trade on NQ using the Chart Trader window. I enter 5 contracts with attached orders enabled. My attached order is a stop loss (Stop: Stop Order), and there is no profit target. As I scale out of the position one contract at a time (1/5th), my stop loss order does not update its quantity — it remains at 5. How can I set it to automatically adjust as I scale out? |

You need to use the "Scale Out" option. Refer to the following: Attached Orders: Scaling Out For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
