If I have Global Profit and Loss Management flatten set, and I also have order allocation across multiple accounts configured, it only flattens the current account and doesn't allocate that flatten event across all accounts. Is that a potential bug or by design? I appreciate your help and I'm super grateful for you guys!! You deserve 10x what I pay each month for this amazing software! Sorry just had to throw some long overdue compliments your way. :-)

i've got the same question.

have 3 accounts chained together to allocate the same orders.

Firstly, I get an error message on my screen bottom saying "settings not complete for spread entry"

there is a "spread order entry id:2" setup automatically in my chart, where I entered the order allocation chaining. I did not add this study. How do I remove the error message? Cannot find documentation.

Secondly; the test entries I placed did not trade properly. I had two positions open in my main account, the 2 subsequent chained accounts also simultaneously opened the same positions. I flattened my position, SC flattened all 3 accounts, however opened in the 2 chained accounts, another position as seen in the attached image at 11:06, which were closed by Apex at 4:00 eastern time.

It is not a bug. There just is not support to flatten across multiple accounts with the Global Profit/Loss Management feature. We will update the documentation.

The issue is that the Order Allocation to Trade Accounts feature is specific to an individual chart.

Open the Trade Window for the chart:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Opening Trade Window for Chart or Trade DOM

Go to the A tab and press the Remove Study button.

We do not know what the issue was. There is quite a lot of detailed analysis required:

It is best for you to go through the Trade Activity Log and see what has happened at every order action that you did:

I completely understand that the Order Allocation to Trade Accounts feature is specific to an individual chart; makes sense and thank you for the response! Truly appreciate your time.

Would you please consider allowing for Global Profit/Loss Management per account? Essentially the Global Profit/Loss Management feature, which I love, cannot be used if trading multiple accounts. I tested it with charts open pointing to each of my accounts so I can see each one in the "Status Trade Account" dropdown; but it still does not function for all accounts.

Regarding Global Profit/Loss management, that is now actively being developed to work on the server side for Teton order routing and also this simulated trading service:
