hi, i dont know how to put an attach order into market when i trade with more then one contract the way i describe bellow

i enter the market with lets say 2 contracts, both stop and target are at the same price and with OCO relations http://prntscr.com/52vhy5, now when the market moves i want to devide the two-contracts target into two separated limit orders, but i dont know how. - i do it by setting new quantity - http://prntscr.com/52vih6 - ok, but when the market fills this first target (limit order), there is no second target (limit order) i could move with (there is only stop, which is ok) - http://prntscr.com/52vhrp so i need to close the position not with limit order but with market order, which is not what i want to do. so, could you please tell me how to put THE SECOND TARGET (limit order) into the market, when i devide the multiple contract target?

You have to cancel those Attached Orders and resubmit new ones using two separate target orders.

You can configure multiple Trade Window configurations which can be quickly selected:

Here are instructions to submit Attached Orders separately:

well, the problem is, that i would like to quickly change the pre defined contracts..

lets say i have defined:
1 contract (stoploss 10 tick, profit target 14 tick) under the number 1 at the TRADE WINDOW - http://prntscr.com/57l5xt
2 contracts (stoploss 10 tick, first profit target 10, second profit target 20) under the number 2 at the TRADE WINDOW http://prntscr.com/57l792

and now i want to change them according to the strenge of a signal in the market with a simple click of a mouse at the right corner of my orderflow chart - http://prntscr.com/57l8fa

but it is not possible - because when it was once set to 2 contracts (with two separated targets as described above) and i want to enter the market with only one contract (as described above), it tells me a mistake message that the order quantity for a parrent order is too small and i need to reset it - http://prntscr.com/57l8si

so the question is HOW TO QUICKLY CHANGE THESE PREDEFINED SETUPS?
