Separating quantities for Target Limits

Hello,
I want to separate the quantities for my limit orders that have a common OCO stop.

So for example, I want to exit 1R (the contents of my original full position) when my PnL = that size (1R). Obviously the 1R size is figured per stop distance from the position entry. Does this make sense?

When I try to adjust the target sizes, it won't allow me to use separate quantities.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to set a order on the chart, manually adjust the target limits and the stop order visually, then let the chart move.

It seems like when I try to do this, the 1st target limit closes the entire position somehow rather than a "1R" amount of my position. Am I making sense?

From what we are understanding, you should not have any problems setting up what you want. It is definitely possible to create multiple targets with different quantities and have a single Stop that will exit the full amount of the open order. Refer to the following as an example of setting this up:
Attached Orders: 2 Targets and Common Stop with Move to Breakeven on First Target

You just need to add more Target Orders to the list of Attached Orders.
