Hi, I'm creating an ACSIL study that creates a Stop-Limit entry order. The study will create the entry order, but I can't get it to include the attached orders defined in the Trade Window. My study has the following set: sc.AllowOnlyOneTradePerBar = 1;
sc.SupportAttachedOrdersForTrading = 1; sc.MaintainTradeStatisticsAndTradesData = true; sc.ReceivePointerEvents = ACS_RECEIVE_POINTER_EVENTS_WHEN_ACS_BUTTON_ENABLED; sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection = true; sc.MaximumPositionAllowed = 3; I've also tried setting sc.TradeWindowConfigFileName but that doesn't work either. I must be missing something. thanks, |

Try adding this to the sc.SetDefaults block: sc.UseGUIAttachedOrderSetting = true;
See ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.UseGUIAttachedOrderSetting for more info. |

The attached orders now appear, however If I don't set the order quantity in my study, no orders are placed. Is there a way to have the study use the current quantity specified in the Trade Window? thank you. |

Also make sure sc.MaintainTradeStatisticsAndTradesData is enabled in the SetDefaults block too, which it apparently is in the code you posted above.

Thanks, now the study quantity matches the trade window, however I get this Trade Log error message when trying to enter a position with quantity = 2: Auto-trade: MESH23_FUT_CME[M] Rev. 6t #2 | Next Reversal Open | SellEntry | Bar start date-time: 2023-03-10 15:47:18.014 | SellEntry signal is ignored because maximum Short Position quantity allowed has been reached or would be exceeded with new order. Max. Position allowed: 1. Resulting Position without working orders: -2. Resulting Position with all working orders except exits: -2. Resulting Position with Market working orders: -2 | 2023-03-10 15:51:27.705
I can't figure out where this position limit error is coming from: The Trade Position window shows no positions before attempting the above entry. In my study I have sc.MaximumPositionAllowed = 4 in the SetDefaults section. In Global Settings>>Symbol Settings: - Use Global Trade Position Limit is unchecked, - Symbol MES?##_FUT_CME Trade Position Limit =0 and Order Quantity Limit = 0 thank you for the help. |

Max. Position allowed: 1
Somewhere in your code or your setup, something is enforcing a Max Position of just 1 contract. |

It must have been something with the simulator position. I cleared sim positions & data and now it works.
