Description

MC 8.7 added a feature to backfill automatically missing data when broken internet connection is reestablished. This is a very good feature. However, there is a serious issue regarding automatic trading.
MC 8.7 treats the backfilled history data as realtime data and as a result, all the history orders for that backfilled data are generated as realtime ones. This is can be a feature to some people but it is a disaster to others who don't want to place old history orders with old prices (that are not valid for trading any more) as realtime orders.

I experience huge number of wrong and unexpected history orders get flushed when internet connection was restored and was so surprised to cancel all the backfilled history orders manually. It was a night mare. There is no other way to downgrade to 8.0.
It's like that I used MC 10 days ago and had a trip. After I come back, I opened it again and all of a sudden I got all the last 10 days orders got flushed to my real trading account. This is not acceptable for me and I am sure many others would agree with this.

So please backfill the missing data as of now, but DON'T place history orders as realtime ones. Or, at least I would like to have an option to disable flushing of history orders as realtime ones. I think 'disable' for this option should be the default.

Please resolve this issue ASAP.

Thank you
