Hi
I have been running into a problem regarding contract size while trading since Monday.
Up until last Friday I was able to trade 3 contracts of e-mini s&p, Since Monday I have not been able to trade 3 contracts, it only allows me to trade 1 contract, even thou my account size has went up. I even emailed Advantage Futures to see if there was some issue and there is no issues from their side. Yesterday I tried to trade from my laptop where I have Sierra Chart installed and from my laptop I was able to trade 3 contracts. So, I think this might be just some settings problem at my Office Computer. I think I did update Sierra Chart last Friday and That might have changed something, but I'm not sure what has changed.
Please help me out
Thank you

We have been contemplating this and wondering why there would be a difference:
Yesterday I tried to trade from my laptop where I have Sierra Chart installed and from my laptop I was able to trade 3 contracts.

It relates to using server-side bracket orders:

What other good quality data feeds do not have this problem? I would like both parent and child orders server side.
