Hi,

I created a new instance to just have DOM main Sierra is at 8-10% CPU and feels sluggish. I am with Rithmic and have tested both chart DOM and regular DOM with ESH3.CME sending orders to MESH3.CME. Works in main Sierra chart but not second instance.

I have Trade Simulation Mode on OFF. I've checked it and unchecked it but doesn't matter Rithmic gives error

Order update (Order reject). Info: Non-simulated Trade Account (7PV0218) cannot be used with Trade Simulation Mode

I got it to work apparently when I saved it to a one chart chartbook in regular instance of Sierra it had sim mode on. So when copying that file to sierrachartinstance_2/data and turning sim mode OFF it never did it! The checkmark was GONE but Sierra still thought it was in sim mode.

I redid the 1 chart with sim mode off, copied it and it just worked.

That was the cause. I still feel this is a bug as when it says sim mode is OFF it should really be off. The color of DOM was correct but Sierra still thought it was in sim mode.

Hopefully this helps other with this very weird and probably unlikely to happen bug.

I never really knew it was in sim mode which I never use but it was a chart I got from Ticino Trader and he apparently had sim mode on.

Trade Simulation Mode is not affected by a Chartbook. There is no setting in a Chartbook controlling this.

Also there is no bug here. If you are trading from a sub instance but the main instance has Trade Simulation Mode enabled that will be the problem. Refer to:
