I am experiencing an issue where “phantom”/preset-looking order levels appear on the chart during Replay Mode, and those orders automatically execute trades when replay price reaches those levels — even though there are no working orders showing in the Trade Orders window. Environment / Context: Trading Mode: Sim Using Replay Mode for practice Chart Trade Mode enabled on the charts for replay practice Instrument: MES (contract rollover involved, Z25 → H26) Multiple linked charts (TPO/footprint/time chart) Core Issue (most important): During replay, I see trade/position/order-related levels plotted on the chart (below/away from current price). When replay price later approaches those levels, a trade is automatically entered/executed (without me clicking Buy/Sell). This looks like preset/held orders firing, but: Trade Orders window shows no orders (empty) Trade Activity Log shows no entries consistent with me placing those orders I have already used: Trade → Clear Trade Simulation Orders & Data (confirmed) Auto Trading Enabled - Global has been turned off Despite this, the chart still behaves as if there are orders “stored” somewhere and they execute automatically during replay when price reaches them. Additional Observations: The charts appear “loaded” with simulated trade data / historical trade markers Clearing simulation orders/data does not reliably remove the plotted levels or stop the auto-executions Disabling Chart Trade Mode prompts trade data clearing, but it’s unclear what is being cleared and what should remain for replay Questions / Clarification Needed: Where are these replay/sim “order levels” being stored if Trade Orders is empty? What exact procedure fully clears them so they cannot auto-execute during replay? What settings could cause replay to execute orders automatically (e.g., held orders, trade presets, attached orders, trade service settings, replay-related trade state)? What is the recommended workflow so replay trading never contaminates my live chartbook, especially around contract rollover? I have provided screenshots showing the chart state and the unexpected trade executions. Thank you Ricardo |
