MT5 trading issues

 
MT5 won’t allow me to buy open multiple positions in the same pair. it only lets me add on to my lot size and it changes my entry price. so i want instant execution with multiple trades but it only allows me exchange execution please someone HELP

It may be related to netting (you have netting trading account with the broker in MT5; not hedging).
