Trade management lines are occasionally missing from chart trader, even though the trades show up on a static DOM. Once this happens, none of the subsequent trades will show up either until the workspace is closed and re-opened. See attached picture.

Please expand the chart trader to check if the account set is the same as the one in the DOM.

They are the same account. This situation occurs after a number of trades using atmStrategyCreate(), AtmStrategyChangeEntryOrder(), AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(), etc. during strategy testing. There may exist a condition where many iterations might cause some internal code structures to get corrupted somehow, and need to get reset by reloading the charts.

Is the Chart Trader ATM selection drop down list toggled to the correct strategy? Does toggling the settings make a difference? Any error messages in the log tab?

Ok, I see. my ATM's are created inside a strategy. Looks like to have the trade management lines show up on the chart, the 'ATM Strategy' dropdown has to be set to '<None>'. When another ATM is chosen in that window the trades do not get displayed, unless chart trader property 'KeepSelectedAtm....' is selected. Thanx Ray.

Actually, I spoke too soon. Although what I said before is true most of the time, I believe there is still a problem here. Sometimes the lines are not showing, even if the ATM strategy dropdown window is set to '<None>', but this occurence is sporadic.
