How can I configure Sierra Chart so that the Trade Activity log shows the total position size for the same trade, rather than listing each added order as a separate entry? For example, if I click the buy button 5 times to increase the position size of the sames trade, I want the log to display this as one trade with 5 contracts and the average price, not as 5 separate entries. The goal is to export Trade Activity with correct position size per trade to the journal (I use Tradersync). I know this works fine in other trading platforms.

You cannot export data this way. However, the Trades tab of the Trade Activity Log does support combining trades into what is called a flat to flat trade: Trade Activity Log: Order Fill Matching and Flat to Flat Definition Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thank you. I was indeed referring to the Trades Tab where I only see single trades with contract size 1 each. I do have LIFO activated to suit my trading style, does it mean I must switch to FIFO in order to see the correct flat-to-flat trades in the Trades tab? |

It does not matter if you are using LIFO or FIFO for the order fills for the trades tab and setting the option for "Flat to Flat Display for Trades List".
