  Hello,

  I would like to set a SELL AT .. STOP (or EXITSHORT AT .. STOP) instruction but only for a part of the total amount of the positions taken buy the system.

  I unsuccessfully tried this:

  SELL Ncontract AT stoplevel STOP

  How could I do this ?

  Many thanks if someone knows the answer

  No, you can’t exit partial positions using pending orders. ALL positions will be closed.

  Only AT MARKET orders are allowed to exit partial positions.
