Is it possible that trade simulation mode never gets turned on when connected to a trading service? ( it shouldn't get turned on even if i click to turn it on)

I just got to know, all my trades from yesterday were simulated trades whereas it had to be sent to the trading service! I was unaware that trade simulation mode was on :/

There is no control to prevent the "Trade Simulation Mode On" being enabled or disabled in general, let alone based on the trading service you are connected to.

Keep in mind the color of the "Chart Trade Mode Box" and the background of the Trade Window are different colors based on the status of the "Trade Simulation Mode On". Refer to the following:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart Trade Window Background - Non-simulated/Live

I do know on the chart it shows simulated but i completely overlooked it.

I think this could be a good setting to add just in the settings window that trade simulation mode never gets turned on when connected to a live trading service
