The study contains many safeguards, the main of which is only ever allow 1 open trade at a time. I just went live with it today. At ~3:43 PM EST today, 02-SEP-2026, it shot off a 12 contract limit trade when it is only coded to ever fire market orders with stop and target brackets and only 1 trade3 at a time, but these were not market orders and they sat until price pulled back to them and they were triggered. I had the auto trading strategy running on one instance, while I was manually working in the same contract on my main instance. I'm looking to understand why multiple sitting orders were fired off from my strategy rather than market orders? Why 12 orders were allowed to kick off? Why many more orders were initiated but rejected? And what I can do to avoid this in the future. I'm running SC on Windows 11 Pro. Please let me know if you need me to provide additional material. Thank in advance. Regards, Gary Francis Mohamad [Phone Number Removed for Privacy] Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-09-02 21:53:29
