Attached Orders

"The Scaling In functionality works under the conditions documented above and can be used no matter how a new order is submitted. This functionality is also supported with automated trading systems including the Spreadsheet System for Trading study."

I have implemented the following recommended by tomgilb:

In the spreadsheet study settings, set Allow Multiple Entries in Same Direction to Yes.

If you are using Attached Orders, also set Allow Entry With Working Orders to Yes.

You may also want to check Support Scale-In on the Trade Window's Menu (M) tab.

What I would like to achieve is a type of pyramiding where you add an additional contract when the original attached order reaches break even. And continue to add as each additional contract reaches break even.

Is there documentation that demonstrates how to manipulate which spreadsheet trading cells to achieve this? Thanks
