A given Sierra Chart instance can connect to only one trading service at a time. See Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time Meanwhile, the simulation system effectively takes over when enabled and doesn't allow orders to be sent to the trading service. See Trade Simulation: Introduction This feature can be used when connected to a Data only service and can be used when connected to a Trading service when you do not want to send orders to your Trading service and instead want to have them simulated.
Which is to say, that with a single Sierra Chart instance you can either have live trading with a brokarage account, or simulated trading, but not both. Instead, you can run two instances. One for your live account and another for sim. And yes, sc.SendOrdersToTradeService needs to be false for sim and true for non-sim. |
