Hello

Maybe I don't understand how the order association lines should work, but I don't get this logic.

My settings:
Chart Trade Settings > Order Association Lines — checked
General Trade Settings > Scale In > Nearest Orders
General Trade Settings > Scale Out > Nearest Orders
Use Attached Orders — checked (in targets only one simple Stop)
Scale In — unchecked
Scale Out — checked

I have two orders filled:
BuyOrder#1 (filled at price 100) with Stop#1 connected (1 contract)
BuyOrder#2 (filled at price 110) with Stop#2 connected (1 contract)

When the price is at 120 I make MarketSell 1 contract.
This reduces my whole position (2 contracts) on 1 contract and cancels Stop#2 (nearest to the price level, according to documentation). So I have only Stop#1 active. And this is OK.

But "Order Association Line" connects Order#1 whith Close marker on Chart. I thought that line will connect Order#2 with close marker.

Thanks for your answer. I read all info on your links and still have a question.

I have made test with some screenshots (for better understanding)

We have three long trades with the same attached target&stop.
Long1 — winning trade
Long2 — losing trade
Long3 — winning trade

Settings are: Scale in — OFF, Scale out — OFF
If “use last in first out fill matching” is ON — lines connects “wrong” orders in winning trades and connects “right” orders in losing trade.
If “use last in first out fill matching” is OFF — lines connects “wrong” orders in some winning trades and connects “wrong” orders in losing trades.
Whatever setting I choose I can't make the lines to connect "right" orders.

Is there ANY way to connect markers like that?
LONG1 ------------------- TARGET of LONG1
LONG2 ------------------- STOP of LONG2
LONG3 ------------------- TARGET of LONG3

Now it is very hard to analyse orders history on chart.
