Strip off single contracts at specified price

[ms8274!]

Hello,

Need some help. I cannot figure out how to strip off a single contract from an order. I want to be able to build an ATM strategy that buys 2 contracts then sells one contract automatically at 12 tics and sells the second contract at 20 tics.

Also, I'd like to know how to manually sell off a single contract from a multiple lot.
I should be able to figure this out but I can't.

Hello ms8274!,

Thank you for your post.

Using a two contact ATM Strategy would allow you to define two Stop Loss and Profit Target orders in the strategy. Please see the attached image for a example based on the settings you mentioned.

There are several ways to close part of the position. For example, you could manually move one Stop Loss or Profit Target order to a price where it would immediately fill or instead set order quantity to 1 then submit a market order.
