Yes, this would be great! For all types of orders. Once I’m in a position, I have the platform set to bracket with OCO orders - GREAT feature, love it! Being able to move my stops around visually by dragging them on the chart is an awesome feature! Great job on that one. In multi-contract positions, I sometimes want to scale-out. E.g. if I hold 4 contracts, rather than punch all at once, I’d like to be able to ‘split’ the 4-contract stop order (both TP and stop loss), into 2× 2-contract orders (or any size, really, 10-contracts to 2x 5, etc.). It should be infinitely splittable, too… so an 8-contract order could be split to 2× 4’s, then the 4’s split into 2× 2’s each, then… And all tied into the one-cancels-other system, too please (once initiated by order entry). As it stands now, I can cancel the associated order and enter 2 of them manually, which achieves the goal of splitting my stops… but they aren’t tied to the order anymore. So if I leave a trailing stop waaaay far away from price, I forget it’s there, and it sometimes triggers later in the day.
