Hi,
I have noticed several times that the trade order adjustion (quantity and price window) stops working properly by the time. Everything is fine and after a few months or weeks I cannot adjust the contract amount any more, see attached picture.

Is there any reason for that? Is it a bug? the same happens when I open a backup chartbook cht file which worked well before.

Many thanks

What exactly is going wrong? What happens when you change the quantity?

We also want you to update to the latest version:

Hello, thank you. I wish you a happy new year.

It happened probably by chance when I updated the SC version to the latest version, but it happened also before with other versions a while after updating. Now I have experienced this issue 4 times over the period of 8 months.

I just want to click on the green buy limit order on the chart in my picture at the contract size, here 3 - and the QUANTITY AND PRICE WINDOW doesnt open as in the picture. So I have to delete the whole order and open a new one for contract size adjustion. I have the TRADE CHART MODE ON on 2 charts and it stopped working on one of them. Both charts are the same contract but different timeframes. If I remember right the issue happened also before when I had only on one chart in the chartbook the TRADE CHART MODE ON.

I used a different computer and chartbook for the picture screenshot where it works properly, Many thanks in advance.

There was a change made in a very recent version that should resolve this. Let us know if you still see a problem. Or if it is not in the latest version the next version will have it and will be out today or tomorrow.

My issues above are with the current version 2576. I have noticed another weird behaviour- It doesnt bother me much, but it would be better to fix this bug/issue. I have now deacticated the CHART TRADE MODE ON function on my left 1min chart, see my new picture below. But the orders are still visible - here at price 4797.25.

With regards to the issue of the orders showing in a chart with "Chart Trade Mode On" not enabled, you need to also check the setting for "Trade >> Show Orders and Positions". If this is enabled (has a checkmark next to it) then the orders will still show in that chart.
