order quantity change from chart

[BGWTEX]

Greetings,

Is there a way to change order QUANTITY, that's recognised by the strategy that placed the order ? A PRICE change from the Control Panel or the Chart Trader is recognised by the strategy.

Hello BGWTEX,
Thanks for your post.

You would not be able to manually change the order quantity of your strategy generated order. Can you give me the specific scenario when you want to change the order quantity?

OK Josh,

I have a Long position with a Buy Order below to add to the position. I want to increase the quantity of the Buy Order. After the Buy Order fills, I want orders entered, based on the actual quantity of the Buy Order fill. The actual quantity of the Buy Order fill is different from the Strategy quantity of the Buy Order fill. Running the Strategy more than one time simultaneously (where's the spell check on this thing ?), on one or more Accounts.

I have a Long position with a Stop Loss Order below to exit the position to Flat. I want to increase the quantity of the Stop Loss Order, to reverse the position to Short. After the Stop Loss Order fills, I then want orders entered, based on the actual postion quantity. The actual postion quantity is different from the Strategy position. Running the Strategy more than one time simultaneously, on one or more Accounts.

BGWTEX,

You would need to hardcode that sequence of events(and order quantity) into your strategy for that to be possible. It would not be possible from Chart Trader or the Control Panel.
