Hello, we are trying to implement an automated workflow in ACSIL where our custom study sends a market entry (BuyEntry/SellEntry) together with attached TP/SL orders. Everything works correctly, except for one issue: Sierra internally enforces a maximum position limit of 1, and any attempt by our study to open a quantity greater than 1 results in the familiar rejection: BuyEntry signal is ignored because maximum Long Position quantity allowed has been reached or would be exceeded with the new order. Max. Position allowed: 1 Resulting Position without working orders: 2 Current Position: 0 We use the newest versions (v2807+) and have verified that the previous user-configurable “Maximum Position Allowed” fields no longer exist anywhere in the Trade Window, Simulation Settings, Trade Accounts Monitor, or Risk Management dialogs. We also understand that ACSIL does not provide a documented method to override this limit programmatically inside s_SCNewOrder. Could you clarify where this global max-position constraint is defined now (simulation or live routing engine), and whether there is any supported way to configure it to allow position sizes greater than 1 for automated trading? At the moment, we cannot locate any GUI or programmatic setting that controls this behaviour. Thank you. |

This never did exist in the user interface except for the Spreadsheet System for Trading study: and have verified that the previous user-configurable “Maximum Position Allowed” fields no longer exist anywhere in the Trade Window, Simulation Settings, Trade Accounts Monitor, or Risk Management dialogs.
