[Scapo84]

Hi there newbie question, i have been using one contract now for some time, i wanted to know how i go abouts using to contacts and say take smaller profit with the first contract and riding the second profit target higher. I put 2 contracts in but dont know how to split them so to speak. Also what is the shadow and how do i use it?

thanks in advance

Hello Scapo84,

You can use a different stop loss and profit target by setting the ATM strategy to '2 Target'. Set Qty to 1 for each target. More information can be found at the link below.

In addition, information regarding shadow strategies can be found at the following link.
