Post From: Autotrading questions

Hi,
I have some questions about auto trading with spreadsheets.

1)when using auto trading how to deal with data disconnections, to avoid wrong order signals?
2)can I trade symbols without an open chart? for example I can get quotes using spreadsheet quotes without having a chart open, and it would be convenient to do the same for auto trading sheets, or at least to link auto trade spreadsheet by just entering the symbol form the sheet, instead of having to add the study to the chart. This is very inconvenient for trading large number of symbols.
3)Are chase limit orders server or client side? For example, if SC crashed, do they keep working as expected on the SC servers?
4)How often are open positions updated? I noticed that using very small chart update intervals I can open, in auto trade spreadsheets, more positions that those I allow using conditions based on the number of open positions, which I can only explain as the results of not updating the number of open positions before new orders are submitted. When I increase the update interval there is not such a problem.
5)The maximum show option which is available in the trade window options, to manage iceberg orders, can be used also in auto trading? I do not see any option for that.
6)If that option is not available, is there any existing ACSIL code/spreadsheet to implement synthetic iceberg orders? I see many order types, but not iceberg, which should be easy to code. I could do it with spreadsheet, but given how important these orders are, I suppose there must be some example I could not find.

Thanks
