Post From: Possible rare bug in AutoTrade Backtest Exit, True but no Fill

Consistently, "Maximum Positions allowed" is exceeded when intrabar auto-trade K,M Entry TRUE's flicker on and off several times, then Orders & fills run up to 8+ when Max Positions is set on 3 (for example).

Due to some recent changes with this, we would not expect this but apparently there are conditions where the Position Quantity can exceed the setting if that is what you are saying. It is not something we would look into or spend any time with, unless we are given a very simple and definite scenario where this can occur.

After reviewing your request about pausing under certain conditions we decided we will not do this. It does not make sense because there are too many different and vague conditions when it should happen and we realize there is a better way.

Instead we will add the ability to step through data record by data record.


While in there,please see if Enhanced Mssgs could pause on paused Replay or no records served, like normal messages do.

We would not do this. And normally we would not expect any messages when a chart is paused. If messages are being added, then they need to occur but we do not know under what condition that is happening.
