How do you disable automatic account positions?

[scx316]

Hello,

I have a strategy setup that's supposed to buy 3 contracts.

This works fine, but it'll automatically scale to 6 (3 under positions and 3 under account positions) if the trade continues in my favor and then automatically scale out from 6 to 3 then closing completely.

I would really like to disable this and control the scaling on my own with addional strategy steps.

I've looked through the settings and don't see an option to disable account positions.

Could someone please tell me how I'd go about doing this?

Thanks!

Hello scx316,

Thank you for your post.

You can't disable account position updates. The strategy is placing orders to the account, so it would not be possible to stop the account from updating its position.

You can change your EntriesPerDirection and EntryHandling to only allow 3 entries at a time in one direction.

We also have a sample script which demonstrates controlling the logic to scale out of a position:
