Hi,

It looks like once I set an "Entry Order" with a stop loss and then when I go back to modify the stop loss, the Profit/Loss shown is incorrect and doesn't match what originally was shown when first setting up the entry order.

Hi Stance,

Could you please send screenshots of these two cases:
1) when you set an "Entry Order" with a stop loss;
2) when you go back to modify the stop loss.

It will help to solve the problem more precisely.

Hi,

from the Wiki i can see, that SDK 3 supports now terminal (trading) functions from indicators.

Is this also true for view indicators like point and figure?

If not , could this added as new feature?

Hi,

I first create an entry order with a stop loss at $1.30 and profit/loss is -$36.23.



I've then selected "Change Stop Order" and it shows the profit/loss is now $152,160.35 @ $1.30

Hi Gidien,

SDK 3 supports terminal functions for view indicators like point and figure.

Hi ,

it looks like that the offers table include all available offers. It doesn't matter, if you have unsubscribe the offer from the list.

Hi Stance,

Thank you for your report, this issue will be fixed. I will let you know about the results as soon as possible.

Hi,

Do you have a release date for the next beta version or for the next release?

Will this version have the option of setting default values for Create Entry Order panel ?

It would be very useful to simplify the Create Entry Order process by allowing user to set their own default values.

Every time I create an entry order I have to set the lot size, click the Stop checkbox and set the value, and click the Limit checkbox and set the value.

Thanks!
