    One other thing to note is that when you do hit the second hotkey, your order will look like a range order (see picture below). This is actually visually showing your "fill up to" range (Thanks for explaining this Kyle!) This is a little embarrassing, but I think I had this hotkey working quite awhile ago, I just didn't understand what I was seeing! 🤪 I thought it was some kind of weird range order, that the script wasn't working, and so I always cancelled it before triggering and went back to the drawing board! And just going to tag some people who I know were interested in this in another thread: @Travis Weirich @peterB @JenniferL @WindssKat @Ryan Wilson

    I'll second what Justin said. You're being loose with your stops, and quick with your profits. It's something every trader struggles with, but you need to train yourself to be tight with your stops and let your winners run. Here is a technique that has really helped me personally when I'm already in a green position - I pretend I'm not in the position, and I pretend that I'm evaluating it as a new trade in the direction that I want to go (long/short). For this example, I'll just say we're green in a long position. I'll ask myself, pretending I'm not in a position: Would I enter right now? If yes, then hold. If not, then why not? If I won't enter because the trade will probably continue to climb, but it's already made an initial move so I can't get in without a good risk/reward, then hold. If I don't enter because I'm simply uncertain as to whether it will continue long or not, then I consider a partial. If I don't enter because it looks overextended, or it MAY reverse/pull back, then that's a good time to do a full exit. Hope this helps!

    Hard to say without a little more detail, but in general you're going to need your winners to run longer before taking a partial. I remember finding it hard to trade ORBs when trading with a size that small. Because it's harder to scale out with any significant impact on your P&L and your commissions will kill you. Your mileage may vary, but one thing you could try is when your entry breaks in your direction, move your stop up to break even without taking any partials. This way you can protect yourself if it reverses before hitting 2R or whatever level you're looking for.
