Rules of Stop Loss and Take Profit inheritance (netting):

• When a position volume is increased or the position is reversed, Take Profit and Stop Loss are placed according to its latest order (market or triggered pending order). In other words, stop levels in each subsequent order of the same position replace previous ones. If zero values are specified in the order, Stop Loss and Take Profit of a position will be deleted.
• If a position is partially closed, Stop Loss and Take Profit are not changed by the new order.

• If a position is fully closed, the Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are deleted, because they are associated with an open position and cannot exist without it.
