Position limit setting is ignored. This worked as configured in previous versions of Sierra Charts

0. Latest version of Sierra Chart
1. I set position limit to 5 in global position limit (screen shoot)
2. Apply settings to chart
3. Test adding +1 contract (added 80 which seems significantly higher than 5) (screenshot attached)

This has been broken for a while now, don't remember which version had it working but it did used to work. This is rather critical config element to many.

We just tested this to ensure it is working in the latest release and it is working correctly for us.

On your Symbol Settings window (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings) ensure that the option in the top left for "Use Custom Symbol Settings Values" is enabled (has a checkmark). Our guess is that this has been disabled, in which case any customizations to the symbol settings will not be utilized by the system. Refer to the following:
Global Symbol Settings: Use Custom Symbol Settings Values (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings)
