Hi,

When using Attached Orders, is there any way to maintain a set ratio between the attached target orders when quantity is changed? Currently when I try to adjust the quantity of my entry order, my target exits (2 orders) are split evenly, when the initial setting was an 80/20 split for the orders.

For example, I use a 5 quantity entry order, and set my targets to have quantities of 4 and 1. When I change my order quantity to 10 however, the targets reset to quantities of 5 each. Is there any way to ensure a change of quantity to 10 would result in exit targets of quantities 8 and 2 to maintain the initial ratio set?

Thank you.

Yes but this is done indirectly by using preset Trade Window Configurations as explained here:

So you have to save your trade window configurations with each one set to the quantity that you want and then choose among those.
