I have created an ACSIL-based automated trading studies that is supposed to send buy and sell orders under certain conditions. No orders or chart signals are being displayed during simulation when connected to the live data feed from my broker. This is how I have things set up: 1. I have Trade menu > Trade Simulation Mode On checked. 2. I have Trade menu > Auto Trading Enabled checked. 3. I am connected to my broker's data feed and the chart is updating with bars. 4. There are no messages being generated in the log. 5. I have four chart books for four separate symbols open with the needed auto-trading studies added to each. 6. The Trade Activity log is empty, and I have verified the options at the top of that window are correct. 7. The Message log is essentially empty except for the standard messages that are created when you clear the log. 8. The Trade Service Log had the following, and I am not sure if this is relevant or not. Trade Activity Log: File read result: 163 records inserted. 0 records filtered. | 2016-09-01 07:44:31 Trade Activity Log: File date-time limits: Sim records date-time limit is 2016-08-17 00:00:00. Non-sim records date-time limit is 2016-05-31 00:00:00. Non-sim fill record date-time limit is 2015-09-02 00:00:00. | 2016-09-01 07:44:31 However, if I disconnect from the data feed and do a Trade menu > Autotrade System Bar Based Backtest, the signals show up and the orders show in the Trade Activity window. Any thoughts why I don't see signals or simulated orders placed when the data feed is on and simulation is turned on? Thanks. |

I've had problems with simulations today too. I uploaded a backup chart from the backup folders and the simulation worked...however when I save that chart as todays chart the simulation did not work... I am waiting for SC to answer my request but if you can try that and if it works let me know/// thanks...
