Sometimes I buy the same stock multiple times using the quote window. It will trigger all the orders properly but then it fails to actually transfer all of them to the quote window.

How can we reproduce this?

Try having 3 limit trades placed a bit apart on a stock you're monitoring. It happens more often if they trigger at the same time so maybe have a quote window that lists trades on a few stocks with a trade limit 20% higher than the day before?

I can't play with it because I'm on live trading and can't risk having random positions opened.

The Orders tool has de-duping logic. If orders for the same Account/Symbol/Price, etc. exist in the orders list, they will not be repeated. However, I'm reading "3 limit trades placed a bit apart" which means that the limit prices are different. This shouldn't be a problem, but I'll take a look.

Not seeing a problem here. Is it possible that "a bit apart" is less than $0.01 apart? Please provide a concrete example.

FLR on 2/19/20. 3 orders. Only the first 2 went through to the orders window. They weren't even all at the same time. Prices were around 18, 15 and 14.40. All 3 triggered. All 3 had different share amounts. The first 2 got into the orders window on the open (but had to convert manually to market due to the limit issue).

Thanks. I'll have a test ready for some stocks opening lower today..
I already see that ZS got hammered last night for crushing earnings and guiding lower - I hate when that happens when I'm an owner!

Hi Marc,
I think we've got this fixed for the next build (6.9.23). Thanks for the heads up.
