Dear SC Support, After upgrading to a latest version 2625 it appears that Trade Position Limit setting feature is not working in Trade Evaluator. In a prior version I was able to increase or decrease the total max number of contracts for the account by adjusting quantity in this parameter. However, on the current version this parameter is no longer displaying the original max quantity of contracts it was set to. Instead, it is showing zeroes (please see attached image). If I update the Trade Position Limit parameter to a different value (higher or lower number of contracts) it sets / commits the value but the original number that was set before the upgrade is still in effect. It is not taking into account new max number that I just set and generating an error message: 2024-03-28 12:18:49.557 \| Trading Evaluator (Order reject). Info: Trade Order Error - Order with quantity 2 will cause symbol settings Position limit to be exceeded. Limit: 20. MaximumPotentialPositionQuantity: 22. Position: -20. Internal Order ID: 93138. Service Order ID: 9241647. Symbol: GCM24. Account: Futures-Normal * Am I doing anything incorrectly or is this an issue on a back end? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-03-28 16:43:39

In the list of symbols on the Symbol/Product Limits tab, you need to choose the GC symbol. There you will see 20 for the Position limit.

So, does this mean that max position limit now needs to be set individually for every Symbol? Before it was only one parameter that applied to the entire account and as long as there was sufficient margin any trading symbol was maxed by a single parameter. Just trying to make sure that I understand correctly how the functionality now works.

It does not need to be. However, you have set the position limit for individual symbols which then overrides ALL_SYMBOLS. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
