I tried to submit the Limit chase order (SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT_CHASE) with BuyOrder(NewOrder) in which the symbol is different from the chart that the studies attached. It return error code -8 (Unsupport order type) However, it work fine with the limit order (SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT). The description of the trade setting and NewOrder is attached below. Pls advise what wrong on it.

sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection = true;
sc.MaximumPositionAllowed = 2;
sc.SupportReversals = false;
sc.SendOrdersToTradeService = true;
sc.AllowOppositeEntryWithOpposingPositionOrOrders = true;
sc.SupportAttachedOrdersForTrading = false;
sc.CancelAllOrdersOnEntriesAndReversals= true;
sc.AllowEntryWithWorkingOrders = false;
sc.CancelAllWorkingOrdersOnExit = true;
sc.AllowOnlyOneTradePerBar = true;
sc.MaintainTradeStatisticsAndTradesData = true;

  s_SCNewOrder NewOrder2;
  NewOrder2.Symbol=Symbol2;
  NewOrder2.OrderQuantity = 1;
  NewOrder2.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT_CHASE;
  NewOrder2.MaximumChaseAsPrice = 4;
Result = sc.BuyOrder(NewOrder); \\ Return -8 Unsupport order type

This particular Order Type is not currently supported when using a symbol or Trade Account different than the chart it is submitted for, but we will see if we can add support for this in this case.
