I’m sorry -  
  
  
  
Say, I am long 2 contracts, however, when I reverse, I only want to be short 1. Is there a way to enter that?

Not using the all-in-one, one-click reverse function. But you can of course manually reverse any position you like. So, for example, let’s say you are long 2 and want to go short 1 when a price is met.  
  
  
  
Enter:  
  
  
  
Sell To Close 2 at limit 123.45  
  
  
  
Then enter a second order, which is conditional on the first Sell To Close:  
  
  
  
Sell To Open 1 at market  
  
  
  
  
  
When price 123.45 is hit, you’ll close your long 2 and then go short 1.
