I get a "Your order(s) can't be placed. The total quantity of outstanding open sell orders(s) exceeds the quantity you hold...." error.
This is because the chart trader is trying to enter a SELL rather than a SELL SHORT which I can place with no problem through TDA's website. Same thing happened on the Dynamic SuperDOM. (Only when selecting my TDA account, everything works fine in SIM101).
I can place the "Short" order from the Order Ticket, but get the same results as the DOM & CHART TRADER if I try to use the "SELL" option on the Order ticket.
Seems like DOM & Chart Trader don't recognize they are going short and simply use a SELL rather than SELL SHORT. Chart Trader & DOM show flat prior to trying the order entry.
