I am in the simulator attempting to test Global Profit/Loss Management. I have the following selected: loss trigger at $-300, flatten positions when loss rules met, locked after positions flattened, lock for day and disable auto trading on lock. I have an autotrader running that I want to stop trading for the day if -$300 is hit. When I run the simulator with all the options above checked, my autotrader still executes trades after the -$300 is hit. In the status window it reads: Waiting for Daily Net loss value of -300C. Current Net P/L = 0.00C. Account:Sim1 My trade window shows $-525 and its still executing trades. |

The first thing to look at is the Trade Account on the Trade Window to see if it matches that message: Waiting for Daily Net loss value of -300C. Current Net P/L = 0.00C. Account:Sim1 Refer to: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Trade Account (Selecting Trade Account for Chart / Trade DOM) And we need a screenshot of where you are seeing that larger -525 value.

This problem reveals a significant limitation with the Global Profit/Loss Management in that it is only looking for the first found chart for a particular trading account but that does not work well in the scenario when you are replaying a chart. The solution is to set that chart being replayed to a different simulated account. Use the next one Sim2 so long it is not used by any other chart. For now we will just document this kind of behavior until we can figure out a reasonable solution. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
