The Trading Evaluator is a Simulation environment, but it does not show as "Sim" within the software. Keep in mind we have a few simulation options. One is the Trading Evaluator, but there is our older, built-in, Simulation Mode. When you are in "Simulation Mode" the trades are handled directly within the Sierra Chart software and you can see the "Sim" information so you know you are in Simulation Mode. But since the Trading Evaluator service has you place trades to our simulation server, you can NOT be in Simulation Mode within the software, which is why you no longer get the "Sim" information. The best way to know that you are using the Trading Evaluator is by having your Trading Account displayed on the Chart/Trade DOM and making sure that the account name that you setup with the Trading Evaluator is very different from your real trading account (maybe even include the term "Sim" in it somewhere). Refer to the following setting to display the Trading Account on the Chart and Trade DOM (in the upper left corner): Global Trade Settings Windows: Display Trade Account on Chart/Trade DOM (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Other) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
