Hi,

Followed the instructions here
Attached Orders: Order Quantity Matching

but once the order is to be filled (no fill occurs,) the green match notification goes red, and seeing this error

Trade Order Error: The order quantity for the Parent is 1 and this is less than the total order quantity of 2 for the Attached Orders. Adjust the order quantities so the parent is greater or equal to the Attached Orders.

I am using the supplied "2TargetsWithCommon Stop" twconfig, with no mods except to change Main window qty to 2.

I have set
Allow Multiple Entries in Same Direction
to Yes in the spreadsheet study.

Are there any other limiters to the qty?

This just means you cannot use 2 Target orders if the parent order quantity is 1. Remove one of the Target orders. This is very simple. This is not hard to understand.

Sorry I wasn't clear, to restate:

Changed Main window qty to 2, to match the two targets.
Assumed that increasing the Main window qty is an alternative to decreasing one of the Target orders?

Wanting 2 target orders,
just like this example
Attached Orders: Multiple-Bracket Example
(and in "2TargetsWithCommon Stop")

Would understand if during the setup its was red, but it doesn't go red until the fill is expected.

You need to set the quantity of 2 on the Spreadsheet Sheet itself:

It sounds like it is set to 1 and when the order is submitted from the Spreadsheet, is when the Trade Window updates.
