Hello, I have been testing an autotrader on Sim for awhile and all executions have been working fine. But then when I switch it to live trading, it does not enter the trades. I even tested a second instance on sim with the exact same settings as the main live instance, and the sim instance worked perfectly while live one did not.

I have checked to make sure autotrading was enabled, and it was. So I am not sure what the issue could be.
