We’ve pushed a new version of the platform that includes the following updates:

  • Order limit and bid/ask spread limit controls for orders.
  • Ability to cancel working orders by the user manually.
  • Manual override of positions to release position from bot when directed by the user.

  • Enabled ticker limits at the bot level.

Fixed

  • Position link in notification window linking directly to position referenced in alert.
  • Click the "+" button in automation editor
