Respect Trade Entry Window Retries When Faced With Broker API Issues

Hey OO Team,
I recently had an issue where the API instability that has been happening recently hit my account at 9:32 as a trade was attempting to be entered and prevented any trades from being opened despite having a multi-minute entry window specified. Denny_vik in Discord was able to clarify that this is expected behavior and get that clarification added to the documentation here:
Fixed Entry Time (with Entry Window): that entry opportunity is simply skipped — no attempt is made, since account basics couldn't be retrieved for the check. Entry Window will be skipped as well.
I would like to request that this functionality be changed so that a trade with a specified entry window will continue to reattempt entry for the duration of that window in the case of an API issue during any failed attempts. From my perspective, having trades not enter when they should is very bad and I want the software doing as much as possible to make sure that doesn't happen and abandoning a trade after one attempt doesn't seem to fit that ideal.
Thanks,
-Nick
