If I am doing trading from the chart and have several positions open on the same symbol....how do I move the stop and target on the chart for all the positions at the same time instead of having to do each position individually? I can not find a setting that will allow this? Thanks...

If the Stops and Targets were entered as separate items, then they will only move as separate items. There is no way to group them and then move them after the fact. If the Stops or Targets are all at the same price, then what you would want to do is to use the "Scale In" option such that when you add to the existing position, the added Stop/Target are updated with the new quantity instead of actually creating new entries. This way, it is a single Stop/Target so you can move it and the entire quantity will adjust.

I understand. A related question. I am trading Micro/Mini NQ futures contracts. I enter my trades via the Trade Window with preset targets and stops as Attached Order OCO. However, if I want to change the target (or stop) for SOME (but not all) of the contract positions, is there a way to set up SC to allow me to move targets and stops for some of the contracts? For example, the attached screen image shows that I am long 5 contracts and they were all entered via one order from the Trade Window (50 tick target and 50 tick stop OCO)....is there a way set up SC to allow me to change the target (or stop) for 3 of the 5 contracts and leave 2 contracts with the initial target and stop OCO? |

What you would have to do in this case is to cancel those attached orders and send a new set using one of the "Send Attached Orders - Position/Price" order types.
