Hello, I’ve been setting up several Trade Window configurations and ran into an issue with the "Ignore Quantity on Load Configuration" feature. My expectation was that if I enabled this feature and saved the configuration, my current order quantity in the Trade Window would remain unchanged the next time I loaded that configuration. However, that’s not what happens. If the setting is currently turned off in the Trade Window and I load a configuration where it is enabled, the saved quantity gets loaded anyway. If I then load a configuration where the setting is turned off again, the previously loaded quantity just gets stuck in the window. In short, the setting behaves in a completely counterintuitive way. It doesn't apply to the configuration you are currently loading; instead, it dictates the quantity-loading behavior for the next configuration you load. This is incredibly confusing. Because of this, it's impossible to switch smoothly between configurations that use this setting and those that don't, as the resulting order quantity becomes completely unpredictable. Essentially, it forces the user into an all-or-nothing situation: you either have to use "Ignore Quantity on Load Configuration" for all of your presets, or for none of them. I'd like to propose two potential solutions for this: 1. Stop saving "Ignore Quantity on Load Configuration" within the configuration itself. If this were decoupled from the presets, users could simply turn the setting on or off globally as needed. 2. Apply the setting to the incoming configuration. Ensure that the "Ignore Quantity on Load Configuration" setting applies to the configuration currently being loaded, rather than the subsequent one. This would make it possible to switch between Trade Window configurations with different “Ignore Quantity on Load Configuration” settings while keeping the order quantity clear and predictable. Thanks for considering my suggestions. |

The better way to describe this, is that the current state of Ignore Quantity on Load Configuration, applies when loading a Trade Window Configuration. And then after the Trade Window Configuration is loaded, the state of the setting can change to enabled or disabled based upon how it was saved without configuration. We will implement a solution to the problem. It will be out in the next release. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
