When I execute a trade using ACSIL (with no Move to BE setting) it affects TradeWindow configuration where I use Move to BE function (trigger + offset)

My ACSIL code does not use M2BE because it manages slippage to adjust attached orders accordingly including adjusted M2BE so I do not use 'move to BE' functions in ACSIL defined in the classic way

But I sometimes want to place trades manually using the Trade Window where M2BE is set and used. Since ACSIL affects TW CFG then the Move2BE setting is missing for my manual trades. Very uncomfortable solution now for me is to constantly switch between configs to restore the M2BE setting back

Can you make it independent? Why does ACSIL have to affect TW cfg? Why is it inter-related? I cannot see the reason

Suggestion 1: add an ACSIL function that disables this and won't alter currently set TW cfg (template)
Suggestion 2: add an setting to TW that will enable/disable this relation

What particular Trade Window setting are you referring to? Are you referring to the Set >> Move to Breakeven Offset?

In the clip attached you can see the 'altered' version of bracket orders configuration caused by a trade executed by ACSIL.
Stop and Target are now set 'points' instead of the original 'ticks'. Also the Move2BE setting is deleted since the ACSIL trade does not use the MoveSLToBreakeven function and handles moving to BE on its own by order modification

What I also have to always do it is switch templates to restore the original config for the manual trade. The clip clearly shows that

Ok we understand. Yes the Attached Orders will get re-configured on the Trade Window by an automated trading system. The temporary solution for now is to use a separate chart for the automated trading system, separate from a chart you use for manual trading which uses different Attached Orders.
