4.0.1573.202 and automated trading
Has anybody tried this yet for Auto Trading? Are there any bugs or bug fixes to be made aware of? Which brokers can be used for auto trading?
I once asked a similar question and TSS replied that it is TS8's bug, and MC also has some bugs. Now I am not sure if it is completely fixed.

I FOUND A BUG!
When I trade 1 contract using automation, and I do not use slippage and commissions, I found that my stops and profit target values work fine.
HOWEVER, if I increase the number of contracts that I trade, the Profit targets and Stops values must be multiplied by the number of contracts traded.
Example: If I trade two contracts, now I must double my stop target and profit target!

Have you tried using "SetStopContract" function in your codeI FOUND A BUG!

definition: SetStopContract sets the exit order based on a per contract basis.

To comment on the problem that you are describing, we would need:
1. The code (you can send us the modified code if you do not want to disclose your original strategy)
2. The detailed description of how the current behavior is different from the expected behavior
3. Autotrading settings
Thank you.
