Re: too many opened orders

I believe you need to make these adjustments in the Strategy Builder and then save it again.. 
go into the strategy Properties area,  make sure it is set to trade constant lots,  type in .5 for the entry lots, and .5 in the additional lots box,  then in the box that says maximum number of lots change it to 1.0 and I think that will fix it

Cruzsurfn, this will work for the backtest and for FST also, but in that particular case, the trade amounts can be set directly in FST.
