Attention!

I have a strategy defined as 3 contracts with 2 profit targets. Two contracts are assigned to PT1 and the third contract is assigned to PT2.

On the chart trader I set the Qty field to 1 and I place 3 entry orders on the chart. Theses are my scale in orders. Every thing appears to operate correctly when the first 2 scale in orders are executed. PT1 is adjusted correctly based upon the average price. However, when the 3rd, and finale, order is filled. I do not get a PT2 target. That 3rd contract is assigned to PT1.

I was expecting a PT2 order to appear based upon the average price. Is my expectation wrong? In Chart Trader Properties, ATM Strategy Selection mode is SelectActiveAtmStrategyOnOrderSubmission.

Thanks

Hi,

Please change the ATM Strategy Selection Mode to 'Keep Selected ATM Strateg on Order Submission' and then scale in.
