Trying to set up trade settings and shortcuts in simulation mode, and I noticed after entering a trade, that after price moves, additional contracts are added without me executing any new orders. In one instance, i started with a bracket order with 100 contracts, and as price moved up, it kept adding contracts all the way to 1000 contracts. Not sure if this is just an issue in simulation without live data, or if this issue will persist. Just want to get ahead of it before I actually start trading.

We do not know the reason for this. You need to determine the origin of those orders adding the additional quantity. Refer to:
