Description

Perhaps this is what was intended, so it's not a bug, per se, but the behavior is completely unexpected.

I created a simple testing Signal, where a Ctrl-Left Click of the mouse on a row in the Custom Mouse Click Area would execute an order to sell half of the current contracts in position at the broker. What I expected to happen was when I performed a click on a row in the Custom Mouse Click Area, the Signal would execute the order for THAT ONE SYMBOL ONLY in the row that was clicked.

What is happening is the Signal is executed for EVERY symbol in the Strategy. If there are multiple Strategies (with unique symbols - no symbol is duplicated between Strategies) that use the same Signal, it performs the same behavior across the Strategies. If the Signal status is off in another Strategy, then the action is performed only on the active (status: on) Signals.

I hope this is a bug and not what was intended. If it is working the way it was intended, then you've created an action that runs counter to the existing actions. For example, if I click on Pause/Resume or Close Position, that action is performed for that row, not the entire Strategy. If I want to Pause All or Close All, a right-click brings up those actions in a pop-up menu. If I wanted to perform the custom click action across all symbols, then I should have to right-click to choose that action in the pop-up menu.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
