                Problem was that i tried to set an account balance via the subinstance where my trading charts are. But i figured out, that it only works via the main program.

                This delayed SIM feature needs work: -Why cant i adjust the needed margin? I have to simtrade with an account size i dont have but need for internal margin requirements. Maybe i am blind. -Now i cant place an order because the daily losslimit was reached while having a realized net profit. PS: increasing the losslimit doesnt help either. So today my hands are tied up for what ever reason. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-10-16 14:25:36

                 -Why cant i adjust the needed margin? I have to simtrade with an account size i dont have but need for internal margin requirements. Maybe i am blind. https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=ServerManagedSimulationAccountSettings Refer to the Use % of Margin setting for the account. I placed a stopbuy order, should have get triggered overnight, but didnt.  
Maybe the order was a day order and it expired.

                Maybe it was a Stop-Limit order. We would need the Service Order ID for it. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level  Your definitive source for support.
