If it's worth it is up to you; no one I know uses the BrokerPatch workaround, as the displayed equity value has no effect on trading.

It's not really worth it to me since from other threads stopping the script <Stop, Yes or No, Yes> impacts the script's performance, even if immediately restarted, correct? "at start" means clicking Trade, yes? <Stop, Yes or No, No> does not read the .ini, correct? No .ini message is posted so I assume .ini isn't being read... Thanks.
