I am using Sierra Chart Version 2761 (64-bit) connected to Interactive Brokers. I am paper trading using Trade Simulation Mode = ON. The following problem occurs consistently: I enter a simulated trade from the Trading DOM. The position appears normally. I close the trade using either Flatten or the attached stop/target. The position disappears from the DOM. However: The Trade Activity Log always shows QC:0. The Fills tab is empty. The Trades tab is empty. The simulated Daily Profit/Loss does not change. I have already verified or tested the following: Trade Simulation Mode is ON. Correct account and symbol are selected. Sierra Chart was restarted. Chart Trade Settings appear normal. General Trade Settings appear normal. The problem occurs every time. Could you please advise what configuration or setting would cause simulated trades not to be recorded in the Trade Activity Log? Thank you. Is there a diagnostic log or setting that I should check to determine why simulated fills are not being recorded? |

You must not have the "DisplaySettings" for the Trade Activity Log set properly to show Simulated trades, or perhaps some other setting related to the time or something else in the controls. Refer to the following, noting the "Trade Activity Type" in particular: Trade Activity Log: Common Instructions to Set Trade Activity Log Display Settings For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
