Post From: SC will not connect to Interactive Brokers' server

Good morning SC. I'm following up to see if you received my trade activity log file I sent last night along with my reply to your message to me. I followed your instructions the best I could. I indicated that I had installed the latest SC version per your instructions. I'm attaching the TradeActivityLog.dat file for this morning's attempts to trade in sim.

I'm still unable to send trade orders to IB's TWS this morning. I spoke with IB's API support this AM. they insist that there must be a setting in SC that's preventing my orders from being sent to IB. Apparently when in simulation my orders are sent to the SC simulation server only. Last night when in live real-money mode and when I'd place a limit order (away from the active market) the order isn't showing up in the orders section at IB.

Regarding your quote, "This is not even technically possible. It is completely impossible for Sierra Chart to process an order fill without there being an actual order fill from the remote trading service that Sierra Chart is connected to if Trade Simulation Mode is disabled." I can send you screen shots showing an on screen trade in simulation ticking away showing my profit and loss while there was not indication in TWS that they received an order much less filled it.

As mentioned previously, since I was back testing AutoTrade programs I'm concerned that I inadvertently changed some settings in SC. Please help, I'd like to trade again asap.
