I know in the past it was not possible to do automated trading in a simulation environment with the Transact data feed. Is it possible to do this now?
Yes. TransAct has a full simulation environment in their backend server now.


If so, does this work when logged into a Transact futures account in simulation mode

Yes.

or must you be connected to the Transact Futures test system which, works with their API.

No need to use the test system and we do not even know whether that exists any longer. We no longer use that system. There is no need to.


Also, if this works now, are the positions maintained across multiple trading days?

Yes they are.
