We tested this and we cannot reproduce. These are the results:

Submitting a new order with a Position of 1 when 'Multiple Entries in Same Direction' is not enabled:

Auto-trade: Replay 15X: ESM20[M] 1 Min #1 | 202006 | BuyEntry | Bar start date-time: 2020-06-16 05:53:00.000 | BuyEntry signal is ignored because a Long position exists or working order quantities indicate a potential Long position, and 'Multiple Entries in Same Direction' is not enabled. Position: 1. Position with all working orders: 1. Position with Market working orders: 1 | 2020-06-16 16:05:05.181

Submitting an order with a quantity of 1 when there is a position of 1:

Auto-trade: Replay 15X: ESM20[M] 1 Min #1 | 202006 | BuyEntry | Bar start date-time: 2020-06-16 06:07:00.000 | BuyEntry signal is ignored because maximum Long Position quantity allowed has been reached or would be exceeded with new order. Max. Position allowed: 1. Resulting Position without working orders: 2. Resulting Position with all working orders except exits: 2. Resulting Position with Market working orders: 2 | 2020-06-16 16:05:59.906

Trying to use an order quantity of 3 from a flat position:

Auto-trade: Replay 15X: ESM20[M] 1 Min #1 | 202006 | BuyEntry | Bar start date-time: 2020-06-16 06:50:00.000 | BuyEntry signal is ignored because maximum Long Position quantity allowed has been reached or would be exceeded with new order. Max. Position allowed: 1. Resulting Position without working orders: 3. Resulting Position with all working orders except exits: 3. Resulting Position with Market working orders: 3 | 2020-06-16 16:08:52.569
