[pgabriel]

If I am short 10 at 50 with a buy limit for 10 at 40 andI want to modify the taget to buy limit 5 at 40 and a new second buy limitfor 5 at 45 (ieI want to raise the buy limit on half the pos not all 10...) How do I do this...?

Hi,

If you want to modify a stop or target you can left click on the new price and the stop/target will be modified.

Before you modify, make sure you have 'Single click order modification' is set to True.

Right click in the DOM--> Properties--> Single click order modification--> True.

While this will change the price it does so on all 10 contracts ...I want to modify the order for only 5 of them....how doI change 5 and leave the balance of 5 at the orig limit price...?

[NinjaTrader_Vincent]

What you can do when you have the order working for 10 contracts is to right click in the DOM and then select 'Add Target'. This will create a second target 4 ticks above your first target and splits up the 10 contracts into 5 contracts for each target.

Then for modifying the second target, you need to middle mouse click (scroll wheel) on the new price and your second target will be modified.

When I went to try this my + target button was grayed out and not usable...

why would this be...?

Hello pgabriel:

A couple of reasons why this is greyed out.

1. If you already have 3 targets, you can no longer add more.

2. This can only be done once targets are in place. You cannot use the + Target to modify entry orders.

Best regards,
