SC2939 Broker: IBKR via IB Gateway In a chartbook I have several charts for symbol MNQ. All of these charts are set to Trade >> Chart Trade Mode On = enabled Trade >> Show Order Fills = enabled Trade >> Show Orders And Positions = enabled When Trade Simulation Mode is OFF, the charts behave as expected, i.e. if a limit order is placed on one MNQ chart, it will show on all MNQ charts. Similar for Order Fills, Child orders, etc. When Trade Simulation Mode is ON, this behavior changes: Trades that originated from one chart are no longer visible on all, but only some other chart(s) and vice versa. These charts also show different DPL in the top left corner. I checked that all Trade Windows are set to the same simulated account, i.e. Sim1. It is not clear to me what is causing this effect in sim mode. The only difference in these charts, apart from studies: The charts are all linked with other charts. Charts on Link 1 are all MNQ and all show the trades from other charts under that link. Charts on Link 2 are MNQ and other symbols, e.g. ES, and these do not show trades that originated from Link1-charts, and vice versa. Not sure if that is significant, but it is currently the only configuration difference (apart from studies) that seems to align to this behavior. |

And Trade >> Only Orders From Chart = disabled on all charts. |

Regarding the display of order fills, refer to: Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Displaying Order Fills on the Chart The order fills loaded into each chart, are affected by these settings: Chart Settings: Order Fills Start Date-Time (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) Chart Settings: Order Fills Number of Days to Load (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) Chart Settings: Load Order Fills for Current Day Only (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) The reported Simulated Position can be different or not display at all, for each individual chart based upon the above settings which control the loading of order fills.
