Post From: Unable to place trades in the sim replay

When I replay a session, and I execute trades in sim, the chart is not showing any orders fill, despite having the Chart Trade Mode on and Show Order Fills and Show Orders and Positions being checked. I can trade in my live account fine.

Basically I can't practice trading during the sim replay.

I've been looking to see if there was an order left on from a previous sim replay, but I've cleared the trade log multiple times.

This is a brand new problem, that didn't happen until Friday.

The problem is only happening with ES. I can trade in sim just fine with other instruments.

One possible clue is that in the Trade Activity Log, I cannot find the ESM0-CME contract under the list of contracts traded.
I actually use the ESM0-CME chart to trade off of the MESM0-CME. In the past, when I traded off of ESH0-CME/MESH0-CME I did so easily in my live account and sim replays.
Currently, there is no ESM0-CME contract under the list of symbols traded, neither live nor sim.

I wonder if the rollover has anything to do with the chart not accepting my orders in sim.

In any event, I have deleted all data and downloaded it again several times. I have cleared all trades in sim for my account, and still the chart doesn't execute orders in sim.
My charts all show and use the current ESM0-CME contract.

Rithmic is my data provider.

What else can I tell you or send to figure out what the problem is and how to solve it?
