Hello gbulle,

That is expected behavior. ChartCustomDraw.ReDraw() can only be called from the main calculation thread, while ChartToolBar will call the button1_Clear_Levels function in a different thread.

As of now - it is mostly fixed, but some instruments are still backfilling. You can reload the data on your chart to check if the required instrument/data period is available now.

It is up to you. You can import only the functions you need or all of them.

Backtesting is done using the chart data only, without any broker connection.

MC_Prog,

By "will not be guaranteed to be executed" I was referring to "not-yet-triggered stop", which normally should be accepted by the broker. What you need to check with your broker is - whether "plenty-far-from-the-current-market" stop order will be accepted or not.
