. So Dorman changed the parameters of my account because of Teton being new and did not inform anyone including Stage5 it seems since they could not flatten the position either without executing one at a time.
The limit was a system wide setting.


Am I really the only person this has happened too.
No. We can see it has been encountered by other accounts as well. This is the first time we have heard of this.

We have checked the log and you have encountered this very same order quantity rejection for other orders as well:
Orders  2021-12-13 11:07:19.195143  MESH22_FUT_CME  Order from DTC client #282. Sierra Chart. 68.115.101.249 | Client text: Tag: 8 Stop Trail.twconfig
Orders  2021-12-13 11:07:19.195197  MESH22_FUT_CME  Trade Order Error - Alert: Order quantity exceeds maximum allowed
So why did you not say anything to your broker at that time? This particular systemwide limit would affect both entries and exits. At that time if you simply told them, and they then brought it to the attention of the clearing firm and/or us, we are sure the limit would have been increased.


Unfortunatley for me at this point it has only cost me money.
You will save money over time.

And for the record, this issue did not occur with any other firm because none of them have this tight of a limit.
