Post From: Study Trading: Triggered Limit Order Entry

Inconsistency still there with menu commands.
Video at https://youtu.be/Y44QEmPxIOQ Showing inconsistent behaviour menu commands.

Actions I did:
1. Latest pre-release as per SC guidelines installed
2. Open SC and add study
3. Use Autohotkey script. MButton press will generate {RButton} and then {Up 1} and then {ENTER}
4. Video start at 00:00 : repetition of set trigger and cancel order
5. Video at appr. 01:20 : Trigger price is set, but option cancel order is not available in menu commands
6. Video at appr. 01:35 : Remove study from DOM
7. Video at appr. 01:50 : Add study to DOM. but option trigger price is not available in menu commands

Note: when the actions of point 3. above are executed with longer timeintervals, the same result will eventually occur. I am not technical at all, but perhaps memory issue?

Order sent immediatly instead of trigger being set.
I also still notice that sometimes an order is executed immediatly instead of setting the trigger. Trigger action done far away from current price. Not visible chart in DOM is 1 second chart to avoid issues with range of current or last bar. When order is executed I do Flatten on DOM and retry. For some attempts the orders keep executed immediatly and suddenly the study works again as designed and trigger will be set instead of orders executed immediatly (In between I do not remove the study or close down SC to refresh the system).
I made video at https://youtu.be/-z5sSZXRm0Y
System has not been touched for appr. 50 minutes then I do the following:
1. at video 00:07 use autohotkey for setting trigger far away from price , but instead order submitted immediatly
2. at video 00:26 flateen and cancel all from DOM
3. at video 00:33 manually set trigger far away from price, but instead order submitted immediatly
4. at video 00:47 suddenly all works well again. Autohotkey and/or manually setting trigger works as designed.
Note: After a while suddenly orders will be submitted immediatly instead of the trigger being set far away from price.

Note: After removal of study due to malfunctioning, it is added again to DOM. After adding the tekst Limit Trigger:not set is visible in DOM. Right mouse click then does not show option of set trigger.Only restart of SC will cause to show option of set trigger after right mouse click.

OS: Win 7 Professional 64 bit SP 1 i5 4GB Windows performance index rating 5,9. Just running SC (with one chart open without indicators and one DOM) and light videorecorder HyperCam 2. No mail, games etc. as this is order entry laptop.
