I am getting very frustrated with this. I am just trying to get YOUR software to work as intended. I have not done anything out of the normal bounds in using this software. I have upgraded to 2068 and downgraded to 2000. Same problems and went back to 2068. My Trade Activity Log file does show as read only in File Explorer. I have tried to turn it off multiple times but it keeps coming back as read only. As reference, so does the Data file and this is performing properly. So, what I did was copy the files into a different directory and then deleted all of them in the Sierra directory. I am the System Administrator and should not have any issues there. I am still having issues. Now, another problem has surfaced. When I try to go live (to eliminate the Sim problem) the trade always reverts back to Trade Sim mode. As far as I can tell I have all the settings done properly. And I don't remember changing anything at any point in time from when it worked to live trade to now. I have invested years into this program and I have auto traded for years. I'm not doing anything abnormal. I don't dispute at all that I may have tripped some setting that is causing this. But I'm not seeing it anywhere. Yet, after everything I have tried I sit here, tried to do a live trade, Sierra reverted back to Trade Sim mode, and I'm sitting on a +3 position when it should have been +1. You would think the Sim vs. Live issue would be an easy setting somewhere but its not apparent to me. FWIW, I thought maybe I could be getting orders from other functions. Trade Window, Chart Trading and Attached Orders Feature are all negative. To go live, Auto Trading is Enabled, both Globally and Chart. Connected to SC Data Services. IB is the broker. Spreadsheet Study is yes. Turn off Trade Sim mode. Everything works fine until the trade is ready to hit. When it hits, Sierra immediately reverts to Sim mode. I'm just not sure what to do any more.
