hi, I have a study that issues a limit order with a quantity of 4.

When I call SellEntry with the quantity of 4, I can see in the Trade Activity Log that the order gets broken into separate orders - each with its own internal order id. Any ideas why that might happen?

Not sure if this is relevant:
1. The entry order is split into 2 orders, each with 2 contracts
2. I have attached orders defined for exit - one target order and 2 separate stop orders. The attached orders are defined in the trade window

So in the cases that we have more than one OCO group more than one order is created. If I call BuyEntry, SellEntry etc., I'm assuming the internal order id that I get back in s_SCNewOrder will be for one of these order? If that is the case, how do I retrieve the ID's for the rest of them? Or am I missing something in my understanding?

The internal order ID that you do get back will be for the first order. And you would have to iterate through the order list programmatically to find the other orders. This is thoroughly documented in the last paragraph in this section here:
