What this means is that your system is not connected to your live trading account. Rather the Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Current Selected Service is set to SC Data - All Services. What trading service do you use, or who is your broker and we can point you to the proper instructions to connect. Once connected to your trading service, when you select Simulation Mode On and the checkmark is next to it, then you are in simulation mode and the orders do not go to the trading service. When the checkmark next to Simulation Mode On is not there, then you are sending orders to your live trading account. Refer to the following for more information: Overview of Trading: Difference between Simulated and Non-Simulated Trading Modes For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

As noted above, when this occurs, it means you are not connected to your trading account. We are not familiar with "Getfundednow" or "MATCHTRADER". If MATCHTRADER is the order routing service they are using, then we can not connect to this. If they use Rithmic or CQG for their order routing, then you might be able to connect to that service (some services that use CQG do not allow for connectivity with Sierra Chart). You would need to check with these companies to see what they are using.
