NT7 Bug - multiple sim accounts

[ATI user]

create Sim 101, Sim102, Sim103 and MANUAL named sim accounts

load strat in 3 diff charts placing atmcreate trade automatically in 101, 102 103 respecitively

a forth chart has charttrader with 'MANUAL' sim account selected...this is for making manual trades obviously

when strat places trades in Sim 101, Sim102 or Sim103 it duplicates those trades in MANUAL account.

clicking Close in the MANUAL account only closes trades in MANUAL acct....i.e. does not affect sim accts or strats in those accts (ie does not disable strat) even though those accts/strats initiated the trades in MANUAL

problem appears to be from naming sim acct MANUAL instead of Sim104 for instance...as my Sim104 is not getting duplicate trades

deleted MANUAL acct...it still persisted...tried to shut down NT.....could not....had to use Task Manager

on restart...I now have sim accts Sim101, Sim102, Sim103 and Sim104
a trade just placed in Sim101 was duplicated in Sim104

conclusion: bug in NT7 re multiple sim accts

[ATI user]

problem even worse ...

now only have three sim accts and trades placed in Sim101 by strat are duplicated in Sim103

pattern seems to be that last sim acct collects duplicate trades..

also...NT7 crashes when you remove a sim acct and try to close NT

Thanks for the report, ATI user. We'll look into this.

Are you using shadow strategy anywhere in your ATM strategy? Right Click > Advanced Options. Is shadow strategy checked?

[ATI user]

I intentionally never use Shadow strategy....however, checking the atm template yes it was checked....this makes me wonder if it somehow defaults or I accidentally clicked

will monitor with it unchecked and report back

thanks

....question: even so, why does it stuff it in the last sim acct?

[ATI user]

unchecking Shadow solved problem..thanks
