Is there something wrong potentially in the order i am submiting, or is it a problem with bitmex? Best regards

The Tick Size is not set correctly. It should be .5.

I do actually have tick sizxe set for 0.50000. My record is XBT?##. Contract months boxes checked for H and M, both of them don't work as chase. I should mention that chase limit does actually work when I open position from trading DOM, however it does not in Automated trading. Below I attach the snippet of code in which I am using the chase limit: s_SCNewOrder LimitTemplate; LimitTemplate.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT_CHASE; LimitTemplate.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GOOD_TILL_CANCELED; LimitTemplate.MaximumChaseAsPrice = 5.0; LimitTemplate.OrderQuantity = abs(qty); LimitTemplate.Price1 = (qty > 0)? Bid: Ask; if (qty < 0) ReturnValue = sc.SellOrder(LimitTemplate); else ReturnValue = sc.BuyOrder(LimitTemplate); Best Regards

Tick Size in Chart >> Chart Settings is also set to 0.5. I am currently using custom written limit chase, but it's still a bit inconvenient, considering that chase limits in Trading DOM work.

We just do not see any problems at all testing this. Unable to reproduce this. There must be a problem with the tick size in the chart in combination with the data causing the problem with the modified price not being correct. Otherwise, it makes no sense why there would be an issue. Also update to the current version following the instructions here: Software Download: Fast Update Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
