Hi! Here's the code example. I run it on USDJPY. You should see two radio buttons in the top left corner. The “Limit” one is checked by default.

Then I start my bot on another symbol (XAUUSD). Limit is also checked by default.

But if I go back to USDJPY I can see that the Limit radio button on the first bot instance is unchecked. As I mentioned in the above message, something triggers OnUnchecked event and when I debug, the stacktrace shows it's being done by external code, meaning it's not my code who calls for Uncheck.

using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo.Robots;

[Robot(AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
public class RadioButtonResetExample : Robot
{
    protected override void OnStart()
    {
        var mainPanel = new StackPanel();

        var limitRadioButton = new RadioButton
        {
            Text = "Limit",
            IsChecked = true,
            GroupName = "OrderType",
            Margin = 10,
        };

        var marketRadioButton = new RadioButton
        {
            Text = "Market",
            IsChecked = false,
            GroupName = "OrderType",
            Margin = 10,
        };

        mainPanel.AddChild(limitRadioButton);
        mainPanel.AddChild(marketRadioButton);

        Chart.AddControl(mainPanel);
    }
}

Hi there, 

This happens because all the controls belong to the same group name. Try something like this

        var limitRadioButton = new RadioButton
        {
            Text = "Limit",
            IsChecked = true,
            GroupName = "OrderType" + InstanceId,
            Margin = 10,
        };

Best regards,
