At present in the Format Chart Trading (Common Section) ""Show Open Positions", "Show Active Orders" and "Show Historical Orders" controls orders placed by both signals and manual chart trading. Example: When trading S&P 500 with a signal 1 min, 5 min and 30 min and chart trade on a daily, if a active order is generated on the 1 min, it shows up on all other time frames. If there is open positions on all of them, then you get 4 different open position indicators, and potentially 4 active order indicators and for me they overlap and block one another.
1. For signals, add Show Signal Open Positions, Show Signal Active Orders and Show Signal Historical Orders in the Signal Format Section.
2. For chart trading clarity, change labeling to Show Chart Open Positions, Show Chart Active Orders and Show Chart Historical Orders.
3. Have the order information for "Format Chart Trading" only plot for chart trades and only on the specific chart that the trades are managed, not global.
4. Have the order information for "Format Signals" only plot for signal trades and only on the specific chart that the trades are managed, not global.
Thank you,
GP

Re: Feature request-Format Signals/Chart-Behavior
Hi,
You should bear in mind that the "Global" view you mentioned is actually the "Broker" view, based on instruments. And manual chart trading is also instrument based, not linked to a specific chart.
Yet, I second your request for a chart (and/or signal) only related orders and positions displaying option.
