Hey, I have a live funded futures trading account but want to practice live simulated trading with the Denali feed. I followed the instructions on Simulated Futures Trading Service: Setup Instructions where I set the Current Selected Service to Trading Evaluator [trading], but this made all my charts and my subinstances to not show any new data. It also didn't allow me the option to "File >> Connect to Data Feed". I was previously on the SC Data - All services and it was working fine showing live data. Since then I have reverted back to using SC Data - All Services, but was wondering what the right thing to use in order to do live simulated trading with Denali. Should I use the Trading Evaluator setting or the SC Data - All Services? Thanks a lot for your help. |

After you change your service to the "Trading Evaluator" and you select OK to close the "Data/Trade Service Settings", you will be prompted to change your symbols for the new service - you need to say "Yes" to this. Every service uses a different symbol nomenclature, so when you change services, you need to ensure you update your symbols. If you forget, or you open a different chartbook later, you can do this by selecting "Edit >> Translate Symbols to Current Service". Refer to the following: Edit Menu: Edit >> Translate Symbols To Current Service For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank you so much, that seems to work now. :) Also, do I still need to check "Trade Simulation Mode On" on my main instance while disabling "Trade Simulation Mode On" on my sub-instances, or can I forget about that since I'm using the Trade Evaluator service now? Thanks again for your help. |

When you are using the Trading Evaluator Service you can NOT be in Simulation mode. So if you want both your main instance and your sub-instance to be sending orders to the Trading Evaluator Service, then both need to not be in Simulation Mode.
