I had read that using percent of equity size was not a viable option for matching order size (entry and exit across 3 systems on the same symbol). I have systems set to trade a specific share size for each system. Exit orders seem to be defaulting to the size of the first open position (system). Is there something I'm missing....maybe a check box somewhere? Anything I may be missing overall?

There is no "default". If you're using a fix share size, then that's the size unless you've selected to use one of the Portfolio Sync Trading Preferences.
If it's always the same size, are you assigning Transaction.Quantity in your strategy code?

This is built with Building Blocks. The trade size is being defined in the Strategy Monitor.
Then you're going to have to show us something about how it's set up.
That second order (disregard being eod). should have been for 20 shares.
I hope that shows what you need.
Thanks. We'll take a look!
From Post #1:
...that's the size unless you've selected to use one of the Portfolio Sync Trading Preferences.
Since these are exits, it looks to me like you were holding a 361 share position and you have this preference checked, right? -
If so, you need to uncheck it.
To be clear, you should check only "Block Exit Orders when Position not Found". "Reduce size of Exit Orders" should probably also be checked so that you don't oversell a live position, which would result in a short position.

That is how I had it set up. I'll have to try it again and see if it works. I'll keep you posted.
