Post From: How to "Start" automated trading

Okay, I am still having problems getting it to trade live.
I have done the following:
Under the trade toolbar-
Unchecked Trade simulation mode
check autotrading enabled
I followed the instruction on connecting SC to my IB account.

I know it is connected because i can press the buy,sell, flatten, ect buttons on the trade window and i get notifications from IB about the orders.

The code i am using is the skeleton function of the first function (scsf_TradingExample(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) in the tradyingsystem.cpp code you supply. I have change sc.SendOrdersToTradeService = false to true. Furthermore, when i simulated this code i get the trades that i would expect to get. So i believe the code logic is correct. I just do not know why no orders are being place? Also, I am saving the code and then going to analysis -> build custom Dll studies and hitting the build custom DLL button. There are no errors.

Please help
