Post From: SC crashes when submitting attached orders to IB

Hi I will have to wait until there is a bit more volume to safely test this live on the same instrument - on SIM there does not seem to be a problem. I just tested using 2 contracts on the ES live, it appeared to be fine.

However, in this instance, I had no advanced custom studies on this chart, but i will go through and take them out of all charts in the system just to test. (EDIT: there was one in one chart in the background not being used [ALMA], otherwise I am only using [HighestHigh/Lowest Low over N Bars], [Parabolic], [Kiwis Trailing Stop], and [Range Bar predictor] in different charts)

Also, this was not a partial fill.
I was filled 100%, but the stops and targets only showed 1 contract, and the moment the initial trade occured was when the system crashed.
I immediately checked the IB TWS and it showed 5 contracts long, but each attached order only had 1 contract in it. When I reloaded SC then it also showed 5 long, and only 1 contract per attached order.
The only thing I could come up with is that there was some delay - yesterday in the NQ seemed particular gappy, thin and with data delays - but that was what I could see with the visual eye, and the parital fill might have been 1 + 4 contracts.
I will test again today and see if this remains.

FYI - I downloaded the new version, and I have no problems with the hard drive - it appears to be fine, and no problems opening chartbooks
Thanks.

EDIT: crashed as soon as I did a live trade in NQ with IB TWS, when using the attached orders. When not using attached orders the trades dont seem to cause a problem.
I will try and delete the offending chart window and reload - and/or try another chart trade window.

EDIT: attached orders on the same instrument with different trade windows and charts - one crashes the system the other does not: delete offending chart!

Conclusion: - something screwy with a single chart when using attached orders with its trade window.
Deleted - offending chart and reloaded the same chart underlying, populated it with the same indicators and spreadsheet - so far so good.
