I'm a bonehead. It was a PEBKAC ID10T error: if (sc.SetDefaults)
{ sc.GraphName = "Trade Signal Reader"; sc.AutoLoop = 1; sc.FreeDLL = 0; sc.MaximumPositionAllowed = 25; I thought I put it in but apparently after review noticed I had forgotten to set it. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-03-24 04:48:32

I went through that a couple of times and couldn't get both brain cells to fire in the same direction. It's all squared away and working nicely now. Thank you for taking the time.
