Separate Out Multiple Orders at Same Price

[waverider]

Hi Team,

I place an ATM order with multiple contracts. There are different profit targets but all cars have the same stop. Let's say as the trade progresses I want to move the stops on the different contracts seperately. How on earth do I unbundle the resting stop order (say with three cars) into three separate stops all at different prices?

That is, I have a stop with 3 contracts at one price, now I want to move it so that I have the 3 stops all separate at different prices.

I'm sure I used to do this ... ? ?

Thanks a lot

Hello waverider,

You can use the Decrease/Increase buttons in the Control Center-->Orders-tab to change the orders to a different price. Once they are not stacked on the same price anymore, you can modify them within the SuperDOM/chart.

Thanks Jason,

I used to do it all directly from the DOM, is that not possible anymore?

If it's not ... but I'm sure I used to do it .... please suggest this as a valuable enhancement. It would be so easy, eg ctrl-click to move one order (choose whichever one) at a time !

Cheers,

If the stop loss is submitted at the same price for multiple contracts initially, you will need to use the Increase/Decrease button to modify individual orders. Once they are not at the same price anymore, you can modify them from within the SuperDOM.

You can modify ATM orders with a single click. Please see the link below under 'How to modify Stop Loss and Profit Target orders with a single click' for instructions.

Can I just double check that there is no way to simulate the 'increase' / 'decrease' buttons to seperate out two stop orders placed at the same price through a keyboard or mouse action from the DOM? I'm so sure I used to do this and it's quite annoying to have to go back to the control panel to do it ... ??

Hello waverider,
Unfortunately you have to change the order from the Order tab in Control Center if they are stacked on the same price.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
