What needs to be done (other than disabling trade simulation mode) to ensure my study running on a chart submits orders?

I have an issue where when I run my study with trade simulation mode on, it correctly submits the orders, but once I disable trade simulation mode, it says orders were submitted (int result = BuyEntry..., result > 0), but no order or position shows up.

The only thing we can suggest is to make sure you have the following variable set correctly: Automated Trading Management: SendOrdersToTradeService If this is not set correctly, then you will get a notice of it in your Trade >> Trade Service Log. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

How does SendOrdersToTradeService differ from trade simulation mode enabled/disabled?

From the documentation that we linked to: Setting SendOrdersToTradeService to FALSE (No) will send all orders and order actions to the Sierra Chart Trade Simulation system.
Setting SendOrdersToTradeService to TRUE (Yes) will send all orders and order actions to the connected Trading service. The connected Trading service is defined in the Data/Trade Service Settings. However, the SendOrdersToTradeService automated trading management variable must be set consistently with the global Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On setting on the menu, otherwise order actions will be ignored. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
