Hello,

currently I am trading the SIM mode, and it appears that the system opens trades by it self! (like ther is an algo running in the back).

needless to say I installed no algo...

Whats the problem and how to fix it?

The system is not opening trades by itself.

When exactly does this occur? Is it during a replay?

Do you have any kind of study setup to do trading, even a Spreadsheet System for Trading, or one of the included trading studies?

Hi John,

I run no kind of study / system / app that suppose to openn trades by it self (I don't even know how to do it).

lets make an experiment: tommorow (August 26) I will not tuch the system at all. If there will be any trade - it is a problem. And since I will make no trade, you will be able to track the log or what ever you need to figur out the issue.

That is fine.

Again though, we are curious if this is during a replay, as when you are running a replay and if you have not cleared the trading data (you are prompted for this when you start the replay), then you will see what appears to be a position being opened when the replay gets to a point where a postition existed. This is the system just showing you that position at that time. It is not a new position.
