Trade Window targets configuration affected by ACSIL?

Hello,

I use ACSIL for automated entries where PT and SL is set and SL is moved to BE after about 50 % PT is reached (MFE is being monitored)

Besides I have a Trade Window configuration set for occasional manual entries to (ticks used) PT 80, SL 41, BE Trigger 36, BE offset 2

The problem is once ACSIL triggers a trade, my Trade Window configuration is set to "price offset" instead of "ticks" and Move To BE (step1) is cleared. This means that if I enter manually after an automated trade is finished the "move SL to BE" setting will be missing. To resolve this I need to switch to another config and then switch back to my desired config of the trade window to load the proper config for move to BE. You can see the video attached

How is it possible that ACSIL executions affect the Trade Window config and how to prevent this?

Thanks

Yes that will happen when ACSIL is using Attached Orders. You need to use a different Trade Window for manual trading.
