Hi support

When scaling out of an open position which has OCO brackets consisting of a Stop Order and a "Market If Touched CLIENT" order the stop order is not being cancelled and is left as an open order.

Settings to reproduce:
Stop = Stop
Target = MITClient
Support Scale Out = True

With 1 stop and 1 target and after the position is closed using BUY or SELL button:
- Target is cancelled - good
- Stop is left open - bad
-> results in no position but an open order on the chart

With 2 stops and 2 targets and after half the position is closed using BUY or SELL button:
- 1x Target is cancelled - good
- 1x Stop is left open - bad
-> results in open position with 1x OCO and 1x orphaned stop order

A screen shot is attached showing the reslut of closing half a position out manually with the BUY or SELL button.

This problem behaviour is not seen when using server side Limit or Market If Touched orders for targets.

Please confirm and indicate this can be fixed.
