Post From: Multiple Simulation Accounts

Regarding the documentation here:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Trade Account (Selecting Trade Account for Chart / Trade DOM)

It states that multiple different sim accounts can be used for backtesting and trading. This does not appear to be true.

1. No matter what sim account is selected in the DOM, the prompt always says SIM1 and the backtest is always done in SIM1. (see screenshot #1)

2. When doing a replay, the orders and PnL do not show up in the DOM if the account drop down menu is set to anything other than Sim1 (see #3).

3. The additional sim accounts do not appear in the drop down menu in the Trade Analyzer. (see screenshot #2) The results only appear in Sim1 in the trade analyzer. So even when I am manually executing with Sim2 or Sim3 selected in the DOM, I cannot view any of the results.

I have tested this on all four of my instances that I use with the same results.

4. To my knowledge, there is no place to change which order fills and connecting lines are displayed on the chart (Ctrl-Shift-O). For example, even if I COULD get a back test to run in Sim2 or Sim3, if I am executing the strategy while sim trading the live market in Sim1 it will only display my entry/exit activity from Sim1, and not display the back test order fills from Sim2 or Sim3. How do I do this?

I just updated to the latest release of SC last week so I am current. Closing and reopening the instance and a full restart of SC does not address any of these problems.

Please advise.
