How many orders to open and how to split them

A signal with three take profits can become one order or three. It changes quite a lot.

Where it is: Settings → Edit → Stop loss and take profit.

One order per take profit

As many orders are opened as the signal has take profits, splitting the volume between them. Each has its own take profit and they all share the stop loss.

In favour: you close in parts and lock in profit earlier; combined with stop-loss-to-entry, after the TP1 the rest runs with no risk.

Against: more trades, more commissions, and if price runs far you make less than if everything had been left on the far take profit.

One order for everything

A single trade with one take profit. You pick which: the first, the second, the last, or one of your own.

In favour: simple, cheap, easy to follow.

Against: all or nothing.

The split

If you open several, you decide how the volume is divided. Equal parts is the norm. You can also load more into the near take profit, which is the one that gets hit most often.

The broker's minimum rules

If your risk works out to 0.01 lots and you want three orders, you do not get three: 0.01 is the minimum at almost every broker and cannot be split. The copier detects this and tells you instead of sending an invalid order.

When it happens you have two ways out: raise the risk, or open a single order. With small accounts, a single order is usually the sensible choice.
