Hi,

I was using SC futures data as signal to trade forex with LMAX, before May it was working just fine. I was using E6M20, B6M20 graph with my customized study, using UERUSD/GBPUSD as trade symbol(attached pic). Then it stoped working, so I run the replay with the customized study, it's working in E6M20 and EURUSD, but couldn't work when they are combined. Plz let me know what to do to fix it. Thanks a lot!

The first thing to do is to make sure you are receiving real-time data for those futures. Is the chart updating in real time for one of those futures contracts?

We need a more precise explanation than this: "stopped working". This information is effectively useless for us. We have no idea what the problem is.

It is real time data, with SC Data using "Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds" so that I could connect LMAX and using futures graph.

I programmed a study, which will place orders and send to my LMAX account, I'm using futures graphs(pic 2 chart setting), but it actually place order on lmax. Before May, that setup was working just fine, meaning the orders were sending to LMAX as my study "tpocrossover" expected.

After May 1st, without changing anything from my end, that same setting stopped sending orders to LMAX, so I run that study in simulation mode to check what went wrong, and I found that the study "tpocrossover" is making trades on both 6EM20 graph and EURUSD graph(pic 1 futures graph working), but it just doesn't do any trades on previous graphs with settings like pic2 (chart setting).

Let me know if this helps to clearify the situation, thanks a lot
