- MultiCharts is closed and restarted.
- Auto trading is turned on.
- Any setting from Strategy Properties window is changed and OK is clicked.
- Any setting of any signal in Format Signal is changed and OK is clicked.
- Any setting of the chart is changed and OK is clicked.
- Chart is reloaded.
- Chart is copy-pasted (the strategy is recalculated on the copy of the original chart).
