Hi.
In MC 9.0 Release I am observing extra orders being placed during manual chart trading.
Here is an example:
Trade entry was short limit. Bracket exits (stop and target) were set to auto apply (they did).
Also applied were two more orders (the top two).
Have I misconfigured something, or is this a bug?
I cannot tell why these orders were placed.

Hello MC_Prog,
Judging by the screenshot the mode of exit strategies is set to "First to Position, then to Orders". Please go to Preferences to change the mode to "All to Position" (if it fits your style of trading).

Re: Extra Orders in Manual Trading
Unless I misunderstand, that doesn't seem to be the cause.
Here are the Prefs settings, which have not been changed, and were in effect at the time.
In the original picture, the Sell Lmt order at 1072.7, and the (ghost) Stop Loss order above it at 1074.7 were not to my knowledge initiated by any action of mine.
