Hi <I wish I had a name :-) The strategy had been disabled by me in the midst of that single hectic occurrence and I have had it running on SIM starting a few hours after the incident. This has been the first timne I had ever experienced this sort of hiccup. The strategy was running on daily including overnight on SIM for a couple of weeks before I turned it live. Please know, it gave me pause, grave concern too, and quite likely more gray hair, which is why I reached out immediately to you to make you aware and seek the guidance of a critical eye, as you have been doing, and for which I am grateful. Please let me know what else I can do. The 1st step towards that end is having that study (trading system) on SIM ONLY .... DONE! I wasn't planning on turning that auto trading strategy live or any other for that matter until I got to the heart of the matter: the cause of the incident. I am consevative by nature. I wouldn't purposely do anything inherently unsafe with a system that is shepherd to my money, nor any other reason. That said, I have followed the link above, and, as well, cmet's instructions and attached the 'All Activity' export. I limited it to the day of the issue, 02-SEP-2026 but will gladly expand, export and forward as needed. I am also providing the full study .cpp and the .dll. Aside from that, may I know if there is an issue having multi-instances open, one for 2 chartbooks, ES and MES, the other also for 2 chartbooks, NQ and MNQ, both using the same live account? Also, for automated strategies, should they not run on the same symbol that one is manually monitoring on an differnt instance? When this happened I was manually monitoring ES on my main instance and turned the study LIVE at 2:30 PM EST 02-SEP-2026 on subinstance 3. The issue kicked off about 3:43 PM EST 02-SEP-2026. No signals surfaced via the automated study during that time window. I confirmed that after the fact that evening backtesting. Initially, I thought it was the automated study that issued the orders but after digging I saw IsAutomated as "N" or BLANK and observed (made sense) that the orders were LMT orders not market orders. Additionally, I use AutoHotKey scripts for the purpose of setting single keystrokes for trading shortcuts that in effect simply call specific SC keystroke shortcuts as customized via 'customize Keyboard shortcuts' under global settings using one single keystroke -- the numpad keys 0 - 9, ., =. I tested those single key shortcuts in SIM for weeks before I turned it on live and even then, I haven't used it for live trading because I haven't been trading much but when I do, I tend to use my mouse -- I am more or less filling out the end of my near 4 months of screen time for order flow DOM trading. I hope that makes sense. More info: I use a logitech mouse - M720 Triathlon I use a logitech keyboard - MX Mechanical I use logi options+ to program the mouse buttons and action ring. I am running SC on Windows 11 Pro My rig: Device name MSI Raider 2025 Processor AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D 16-Core Processor (2.50 GHz) Installed RAM 96.0 GB (93.6 GB usable) Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU (16 GB) AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics (2 GB) Storage 2 SSD's at 1 TB each System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Monitors Laptop screen (3840 x 2400 at 200% scale) Dell (2560 x 1440 at 100% scale) Sceptre Ultrawide (5120 x 1440 at 100% scale) I am hard wired by ethernet CAT 6 to the internet. I occassionally log in remotely via Chrome Remote Desktop. I use Proton VPN (off when trading) but on when remote logging in via my phone Samsung Galaxy FOLD 7 I use Bit Defender as my AV software. Thank you kindly in advance. Looking forward to your informative response. Warm regards, Gary Francis Mohamad Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-09-04 13:12:06
