Partially Close a Position In ThinkOrSwim

[sean.gummer]

I am trying to create an order set for backtesting that incrementally closes a position and having some difficulty.

Example: Buy to Open with a trade size = 2. I would like to Sell to Close with trade size = 1 once the price rises 1% and Sell to Close with trade size = 1 once the price rises 4%.

I have tradeSize = 1 in both sell to close order scripts, but it closes the entire position with the first sell to close order.

Does anyone know how to incrementally close a position?

Looks like it may not be possible to increment out of a position...
