The spreadsheet generates orders in sim mode.
Exiting out of Sim and logging back on in Live mode NO orders generated. (spreadsheet data is updating)
Exiting Sierra and restarting does NOT solve the problem.
Help please Thanks

1. I figured it out - Send Orders to Trade Service was not set to yes.
But, it begs the question -
Does "Disable Auto Trading" J28 reset Send Orders to Trade Service to NO?

2. J66 Maximum Positions Allowed - I want to set it to 1 ES contract but it keeps resetting to 1000!
How do I set the system to trade 1 or 2 or nn contracts?

3. Request - Given the statement - "when going from simulated to live trading..." IT would be very useful to have a "Panic Button" as a user relocatable and resizeable widget that would Cancel All Orders, Flatten, and Disable Auto Trading - rather than having to find the Chart>Trade >Auto Trading Enabled and un-check it.
Way to slow. LOL

Thanks

In response to post #1. This is explained here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_AutoTradeManagment.php#SendOrdersToTradeService

2. This is a read-only Sheet cell. You need to change this through the Input settings in the study itself.

3. You can add a ToolBar button for the Trade >> Auto Trade Enabled command for easier access to it.

How about making it a Christmas in July present and making the "Panic Button" code (my item 3 above) available as a standard user selectable feature. Please, no offense but this is way above my programming skill set at the moment. And, I think many would welcome the addition of the button.
Anyone out there willing to contribute this?
Thanks
