Live trading turns off

I have a program doing automated trading during the day, so before I leave for work I uncheck the "Trade Simulation Mode On" so the trades will go to my broker. When I come home at the end of the day the Simulation Mode is checked and no trades went to my broker. Is there some kind of a timer that's causing this? How do I get SC to stay in live trading all day? Thanks

The Trade Activity Log will give the specific reason as to why Trade Simulation Mode was enabled and the time that it happened. Here are the instructions to use it:
Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity

Make sure at the top you select All Activity, All Symbols (non-simulated), and All Accounts.

Here is what I found. "Trade Simulation Mode has been enabled. Enabled because Service does not support trading". What does this mean?

What broker/trading service do you use? Sierra Chart is not set to use that service.

I set my Data Service trade setting to exactly what was shown on the screen and then tried placing an order of one MES20 contract. The order was rejected with the message "Exceeds Credit Limits". I'm not sure what this means, but there is more than enough money in the account to trade. Now what is happening?

Contact your broker about the "exceeds credit limits" message. They will be able to help you with that.
