Trade Simulation Mode Wont Turn On

The Trade Simulation Mode option is under the Trade Tab but it wont turn on, no check mark when clicked.

When Replay Chart is selected and the chart is replayed it inters Simulation Mode and the check mark appears next to Trade Simulation Mode.

Now after turning on Sim Mode with Chart Replay, Sim Mode wont turn off even when the Chart Replay window is closed.

This is explained here:
Simulated Futures Trading Service: Using Internal Sierra Chart Trade Simulation Mode (Using Internal Sierra Chart Trade Simulation Mode)

Now after turning on Sim Mode with Chart Replay, Sim Mode wont turn off even when the Chart Replay window is closed.
This is because there is one chart that is still replaying.

Thank you. Found the replay chart, was able to turn off Sim Mode, and now its back to the original problem.

"Trade Simulation Mode Wont Turn On

Any ideas on this problem?

OK I think I figured it out. Switched to SC All Data and its working now.

Thanks,

David

If you had your service set to one of the "Trading Evaluator" options, then you can NOT turn on Simulation Mode. As you found, you need to switch your service to SC Data - All Services to be able to run in Simulation mode again without submitting to the Trading Evaluator service.
