How are you sending the orders? Is this a manual order or are you using some kind of automated system? If an automated system, which one are you using? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

That configuration is setup for a total quantity of 2. Are you using "Scale In" when you add more orders? Do you have a problem with a quantity of 2 working correctly (do the Targets work properly with just a quantity of 2)?

I dont know if the MIT Targets work properly with a QTY of only 2, I would have to test on live account attached, and also on Trade Menu -> Menu -> Orders -> Support scale in, support scale out both checked, will try for screenshot

We are trying to understand the particular workflow. So you start with a position of 2 and then add on to it 3 more times to have a total quantity of 8, correct? Then when one of the targets is touched, it should close out a total quantity of 4, but you are seeing a total of 7?
