Delayed Trading Evaluator: inconsistent TradingIsDisabled values

Hello Sierra Chart Support,

We are testing a read-only DTC client on the Delayed Trading Evaluator WebSocket endpoint wss://tradesimulation1.sierracharts.com:11095. On 8 September 2026 the server identifies as SC DTC Server, Build 58044, protocol version 8.

For a newly created simulated USD account with TradingIsDisabled explicitly set to 1, we receive these values for the same account:

- ACCOUNT_SETTINGS_RESPONSE (10116): TradingIsDisabled = 1.
- TRADE_ACCOUNT_RESPONSE (401): TradingIsDisabled = 0.
- ACCOUNT_BALANCE_UPDATE (600): TradingIsDisabled = 1.

The cash balance is 0, IsUnderRequiredAccountValue is 1, and we have not submitted orders or balance adjustments. Our client currently refuses to declare a consistent inventory because the flags disagree.

Do these three fields have different documented meanings on this service? Which fields should a client use to determine whether new orders are blocked, while retaining the configured account-level trading lock?

Please clarify the protocol semantics only. Please do not enable trading, alter account settings or balances, or place any orders.

Thank you.

What we need to know is trading actually disabled on the account?

We did look into this some more and if trading is disabled on the account, this message will not indicate that:

- TRADE_ACCOUNT_RESPONSE (401): TradingIsDisabled = 0.

Although the field is there it is not used within this specific context for which you are getting it.
