FXCM - Unknown Order Type

[reach4thelasers]

I'm afraid I need to resurrect this old bug report that I made 18 months ago during the Beta Program, because its still happening:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Place an order using FXCM on a different platform (e.g. TradingView or FXCM's Trading Station)
2. Let order get filled
3. Observe Unknown Order Type Error in Ninjatrader's Logs, and a seemingly unprotected position.

Hello reach4thelasers,

Thank you for your post,

I'll test this scenario and report to development, however, we recommend not using the FXCM connection in multiple locations at once as this can result in unexpected behavior like you have experienced. See our connection guide disclaimer for more information.

I believe this problem also occurs with if you use the web based version of FXCM's Trading Station and I assume this doesn't use the API refered to in the link? Stops and targets placed on Trading Station don't appear to be recognised by NT. ATM Stops and targets from NT8 appear to transfer to Trading Station as OCOs which is different to how Trading Station natively handles stops and targets
