when i open 2 similar transactions is there a way to keep them separate and not as a one multileg transaction.
For example if i BTO 1 EURUSD and then again BTO 1 EURUSD I want it to appear as 2 separate transactions.
My open transactions keep growing in sizes of both the open and close column.
No, when you open two separate trades in the same instrument, it appears on your C2 screen as one trade with quantity 2.
Of course, as you no doubt know, opening one EURUSD and then opening another EURUSD is mathematically the same as opening 2 EURUSD.

Ok, it looks like i tried to offer a bad solution to an important problem.
The problem is that the system does not treat closed portions as closed trades.
now I have in GBPUSD opened 120 closed 60.

I really believe that closed parts should be placed in the closed transactions list.
(this buying and selling can continue for a while)
and not as it might look i did not hold a 120 lots exposure.
i am still waiting for an answer, as my GBPUSD transaction keeps growing.

I don’t understand what you consider a problem. On your system’s page, that transaction is listed in one simple line like this:
BTO 170 GBPUSD … Closed=90
with average prices for both the open and close sides of the trade.
That list of details you include in your message is only visible when (and if) you ask to see an itemized list.
MK
it can keep going like this for a long period and eventually it will show something like
BTO 1000 GBPUSD … Closed=9990 with 2 months time.
People looking at the closed transactions will think i had an exposure of 10 million GBP which is wrong and I held it for months which is also wrong.
i believe that you have to let the closed part to be registered as closed transaction upon closing. Otherwise it creates a serious misrepresentation of my system or any system that is not binary.
My system is a real successful forex trading one, a result of years of research. I trade my money with it.
I do not think this modification of how trades are displayed is in the cards.
If it disturbs you to have a long-running trade, then you need to get flat, which effectives marks the trade as “closed.” Until that time – as you increment and decrement positions, buying a little here, selling a little there – C2 treats this sequence as an open trade.
No P/L number is affected by this – it is just a screen-display convention. People interested in the stats can drill down into the transaction details by clicking on the right-most P/L column.
I’m not trying to be disagreeable, but the reality is that this notion of a trade as a “unit” is fundamental to the C2 database structure. Not to get too technical, but it would be a fundamental re-write to change this, and I’m not sure it’s a big enough deal to warrant it.
MK
now I have no problem with closing and reopening all transactions, but as soon as i will have subscribers it will not be possible to do that.
can you maybe make a way to make a way to automatically close/open?
I guess I don’t really understand what the issue is. You have a trade sequence like this (this is an imaginary example):
Buy 10
Buy 10
Sell 10
Buy 10
Sell 10
At the end of this sequence, you are still long by 10 units. This is exactly what C2 represents. If you look at the trade line, it will say:
Buy 30 — Closed: 20
Which will let all your subscribers know that you are long 10.
In any case, subscribers will be following your system by either acting on each email they receive (i.e. “Buy another 10 now, please” or by following Instant Trade Messenger or AutoTrading).
Not sure why you are concerned with how this sequence of trades is displayed on the page.
