Scale out options?

Looking into the sc options for trading from the platform. If trading multiple lots I'm not seeing an easy way to scale out of trades w/out unchecking the "use attached orders" check box and adjusting the size. Do I need to use multiple trade windows w/ different contract levels?

For example, entering a 3 lot limit entry, with only a stop (no target) how could I quickly and manually take one lot off, and move the stop to b/e with only 2 contracts?

Some platforms have manual scale and manual b/e buttons...it could simplify matters locating them on the condensed trade window below the "use attached orders" check box.

For the move to breakeven for the stop, that would have to be manually done.

Seems to work ok using the pre-set trade buttons for scales, but my issue seems to be having to manually change quantities. There should be a setting somewhere to pre determine the scale out/in quantity. As it is I'll likely need to use multiple doms/trade windows.

I agree, you should be able to set a qty for scale out/in.
Other thing I found is I had to go into each attached order and set the "Support Scale-In" and "Support Scale-Out" and then save configuration for all attached orders.
