I have set the Trade Position Limit setting for a symbol to a non-zero value but it seems to have no effect in either simulation or live trading, as I am able to place a new order of larger quantity than the limit without rejection. This was for symbol MNQU23_FUT_CME with Teton CME Order Routing. Is there some other setting I need to change as well to activate the Trade Position Limit?

We just tried this to ensure that it is working properly, and it is working as expected.

The most likely item is that you do not have the option for "Use Custom Symbol Settings Values" in the top of the Symbol Settings window, enabled. Make sure this has a checkmark next to it. If not, then any custom settings that you make for the symbols will not be used. Refer to the following:
Global Symbol Settings: Use Custom Symbol Settings Values (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings)
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
