I observe sort of inconsistent behaviour in the chart trader order window.
I am using an account group ACCTS_A_B.
I have selected this account group in the order window and I am running a simple strategy with stop and target.
Now I have the following:
- clicking on sell ask while flat: Order is propageted to both accounts and the relative stop and target orders are set up in BOTH accounts.
( same for sell bid, buy ask, buy bid)
now in position:
- clicking on buy ask in this case will propagate the oder to both accounts and once the position goes flat all open orders are cancelled.
- clicking on sell ask the order will again propagate to both accounts and my position will be doubled including stopps and limit.
This is all fine and behaviour is as expected.
But:
- clicking the close button the order is not propagated to both accounts, but only to one account.
This is inconsistent: Having selected account group ACCTS_A_B I expect my close order to be executed on both accounts and not only on one account.
Why is this so?
Personally , as long as I am fresh and not stressed I am fine using the sell / buy buttons that propagate to both accounts. But sometimes there are times that I am stressed and I cannot think properly any more. That is when I need the close button, which is my last resort , and I want the close button to think of everything!
Is it so difficult to implement? Or is there a reason behind that the close is executed only on the first account of the group? By the way, just to add to the mess: What is the first account of a group? For me both accounts in a group are equal and there is no first or second account in a group!
Any enlightments?
Best regards
Andreas
