Multiple stops, multiple prices, during same scaled-in trade.

[butt_toast]

Hello,

1. Entry #1
2. Entry #2
3. Stop location for Entry #1
4. Intended stop location for entry #2

When I placed the second trade, rather than using my 3 point stop specified in the ATM strategy, the stop for Entry #2 was placed at the same location as the stop for Entry #1.

When I tried to drag the stop for Entry #2 to the correct location, it selected all contracts for both Entry #1 and Entry #2, as it appears to have grouped them together.

How can I remedy this? I do not want the stops to be grouped like this, which is especially strange because the ATM strategy would have set the prices for both stops at different levels.

Thanks!

In case someone stumbles across this, I right-clicked in the chart trader window > properties > ATM strategy selection mode

Then choose this one

Hello butt_toast,

Thank you for your note.

This is due to the ATM Strategy Selection Mode setting that is currently in place. The default ATM Strategy Selection Mode is 'Select Active ATM Strategy on Order Submission', which automatically selects and amends your active ATM Strategy when submitting subsequent orders. To be able to place two different sets of Profit Targets and Stop Losses, you'd want to change the ATM Strategy Selection Mode to 'Keep Selected ATM Strategy Template on Order Submission' mode.
