Hi,

I have Teton activated but was trying to do some sim trading. I have checked sim trading is on and sim is selected in trade window. When I try to enter a order either from the chart or trade window nothing happens.

I have switched from Teton to all services, I have restarted Sierra chart and I have checked the msg log but there is no errors showing up. I have also updated to the latest version of SC.

It seems like it is not registering any of my commands to enter the trade. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

No they do not come up in the trade orders window and they are not displayed on the charts. When I switch from sim mode to live account everything works normally.

There must be some entries in the Trade Activity Log for these orders. Check the Trade Activity Log and see if you see the Order activity entries for those orders you try to submit when in Simulation Mode:
