Issue- Stop Orders don't always group after scaling in. Settings: Targets Tab - All OCO Groups Orders: maintain Same qty for OCO groups If enter 1 lot at market and scale in 2 more contracts 2 ticks higher on a stop, then all fine, bracket orders auto update to 3 total at prices controlled by tw config, and manually adjustable as group by drag drop However: if the initial order is placed as a stop rather than market or limit, then subsequent scale orders fill as individual,(ungrouped) orders. Also if I adjust the pending scale orders entry point (or the target of the initial entry) those subsequent filled scaled orders will be often be ungrouped. So if I am long 3-5 contracts upon full scaling in...my stops are all separated as individual orders and I am expending unnecessary focus in adjusting individual stops orders rather than instead of one grouped exit. ( 5x adjustments) Please help. |

We are not quite sure of what you mean by this: However: if the initial order is placed as a stop rather than market or limit, then subsequent scale orders fill as individual
But, if you are saying that you are entering the stop separate from the main order, that is you are not sending it as an Attached Order, then what you are seeing is the correct functioning. The Scale In/Scale Out only works with "Attached Orders".

different scenarios.. same tw config file...all OCO orders...and maintain same qty for OCO groups A) from flat (0) enter 1 long at market or on a buy limit order...Order is filled, then add to longs 2 ticks higher a buy entry stop. Stop orders are grouped as a single stop order, no issues. B) from flat (0) place buy entry stop 2 ticks above current market...order is filled ...then add to longs two ticks higher on buy entry stop...stop orders are ungrouped...cannot adjust manually as single exit...all separate orders. sometimes i want to fight for entry price...others let market prove direction...either way shouldn't the scaled orders behave the same in either scenario? |

Issue Remains: When adjusting location of pending scaled in orders, once filled those orders are UNGROUPED, NO MATTER THE SETTING. hence I am forced to manually manage up to 5 separate stop orders...instead of 1 grouped exit order. has to be a solution... add a group orders radio button by right clicking on order ID on lefts side of DOM? |
