My apologies, I misread the documentation and thought that TradeMode was one of the fields for a new order, but it's TradeAccount. It sounds like the TradeAccount field is necessary and will therefore dictate whether or not it is simulated. So if I send an order to "Sim1" (for example), it's simulated. If I send an order to [live account number] or [demo account number], then the user must remember whether the account is live or demo. Correct? Context: [I'm just making sure that I document this correctly for my client users - they have a completely different (existing) interface to work with. There's a drop-down menu where the user can select "Live" or "Demo", enter an account number and enter a password. They might be surprised that they can log into a live account with the "Demo" setting on.]
