I am testing an intraday (5 min bars) option trading strategy with a single symbol using streaming chart. I do not have Live Positions enabled, so I expect a signal and trade every 5 min. It is working as expected and AutoPlace orders are shown as Filled in Broker. Each order is for 1 position (contract).
However, I notice that the Dummy Broker account dedicated to this strategy is not adding additional Filled positions to its total quantity count. It stays at 1 position. If I manually delete the position, it will replace it at the next bar trade. It just doesn't add new positions to the total count. (Also true in Account / Positions sidebar on Accounts page.)

Rename
Yes, I see this behavior. It looks like there were some changes to the Dummy Broker that caused this, because it never used to operate that way. Let's get this fixed.
Thanks. Looking deeper it appears it is replacing the identical position with the latest one, based on the pricing of positions in the Accounts page sidebar.
Note that there was a change made to the Dummy Account code in B50.
QUOTE:
○ The Dummy Broker will accommodate trading options with IB selected for Streaming in the Order Manager.
I made a change that didn't consider how the Dummy Broker worked - which is different that all the live brokers. Until it's changed back, you'll only get the result from the last trade.
It's been fixed for B54 - the Dummy Broker will start behaving normally again then!
Thanks.
