Which setting did you set specifically? And what is the exact symbol did you set it on in the symbol settings? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

That setting applies to ALL symbols. It is not specific to the selected symbol at that time. So you should be limited to a maximum quantity of 5 for all symbols. Note that that setting does not work in Simulation Mode. We wonder if this was what you were doing.

Select the symbol you want to update and in the box to the right where it lists the "Settings" find the entry for "Trade Position Limit" and enter the value you want. Note that there is also an "Order Quantity Limit" if you want to limit the quantity that can be entered for a single trade. Refer to the information at the following link and the item below it: Global Symbol Settings: Trade Position Limit But if this was during live trading, then you should have been limited to a total quantity of 5 for all symbols for which you had open positions. Please let us know if you continue to have an issue with this. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
