I post this oddity here as it may be something to be aware of, or comment on....
On returning to my trading platform this morning I was welcomed by multiple alarm errors as stops were failing and giving insertion errors.
On looking at chart/s there was no valid reason as Price was far away from required stop loss levels.
Then I thought I had transported back to the good old 4 digit days as all chart scales and line tools were resolved to only 4 digits and not 5. A/U, E/U, G/U, U/C etc.
Trade history, however, was unchanged at 5 digits as appropriate.
After faffing around to manually set my stops and protect trading test data, I restarted the terminal and all was back to normal.
Fortunately my live account has been off all this week as I rebuild/test some robots.
What is a concern is that the robots could not perform trading adjustments so this was not just a visual effect.
"A new way to stop you moving your stop losses?" or another Empty4 bug.

And No! I have not had any magic mushrooms for breakfast, arrived pissed from the pub or been abducted by aliens.
Steve, if you are going to auto-rename brokerr to criminal then please use Capital letter to identify them all generically as Major Criminals along with Banks, etc. and not us petty criminals (as in those that rob the robbers, as we try to steal our wealth back through the Empty4 hole in their bag of gold)
Empty4 Changed from 5 Digit to 4 Digit - Why?
