Post From: Disappearing bracket orders (stops and limits)

There seems to be some improvement since your last update, orders don't seem to be disappearing all the time

I did have a temporary glitch today where my live order dissapeared off the DOM/Chart, then reappeared (log below)

However, there is another problem with your platform
Top step provide a limit to how many lots you can trade
So if (for example) you have 5 lots already in the market, and your limit is 5, then it's not possible to trade more
This is fine, sierra chart automatically stops you from trading above your limit

However, I've discovered that if I have my maximum 5 lots trading, then I use 'flatten'. Sierra chart won't flatten my position. It gives an error msg saying I have already used my maximum amount of lots, and can't use any more to close the position. This is because when sierra chart flattens a position, it just puts a market or in, for the opposite of the live position.
