Is there a way to add to an existing position that already has attached OCO orders (Stop 1 and Target 1) and have the add-in generate an additional Target 2, but scale into the existing Stop 1? I know if the initial entry quantity is 2 I could have two targets via twconfig, but I specifically want subsequent add-ins with the same stop line but their own target lines. I have tried so many combinations trying to figure this out; - Trade Window > Menu > Orders > Support Scale In (on/off), Support Scale Out (on/off), Maintain Same Quantity for OCO Group Orders (on/off) - Global Settings > General Trade Settings > Scale In / Scale Out (nearest, furthest, even distribution, etc.) - Creating twconfigs with multiple targets and 1 stop, but only entering a quantity of 1. The initial order is denied. The one thing I see that I have not tried is changing General Trade Settings > General > Adjust Attached Orders... I have even tried ACSIL order management for the targets, but my experience so far is that the initial entry dominates the order execution for subsequent entries until that position closes. In other words, whichever trade engine enters first, wins. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-07-04 18:38:54

There is no built-in way to do this: and have the add-in generate an additional Target 2, but scale into the existing Stop 1?
You would need to use ACSIL and you would just add another Limit order which would serve as the second target and increase the quantity of the existing stop order. In this case you would disable Use Attached Orders for the second entry and the ACSIL trading system would need to detect the increase in the Position and add another Limit order and increase the quantity of the existing stop order.
