Post From: Trades on sim don't match from sub-instance to main instance

From what you are stating, your main instance must not be in Simulation Mode. Make sure the checkmark is next to Trade >> Simulation Mode On.

The other possibility is that you have your Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Current Selected Service set to one of the Trading Evaluators. In this case, you can not be in Simulation Mode.

This could also explain your Trade Window backgrounds, as you can have different colors set for when you are live, versus simulated. Refer to the settings starting at the following:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart Trade Window Background - Non-simulated/Live

One other thing to keep in mind is that when you are in your sub-instance, you will need to select your Simulation account (Sim1, Sim2, etc.).
