    Scaling in and SL problem?

    In chart trader, I have Qty set to 2, and in the properties in the scale in quantity is set to 1.

    ATM Strategy is custom with a 10 tick SL and no TP.

    When I buy at market, the SL with 2 contracts shows up as expected. The ATM strategy now shows "Active ATM ...", and as expected the Qty is now at 1.

    I buy at market again, and this time there is a second stop loss with quantity 1 1 tick above my original SL. My understanding is that the stop loss should have updated to 3 contracts to reflect my open position of 3 contracts, not add another at a different price.

    Please clarify.

    Tried again and seemed to work fine. Will monitor if this happens again.
