Post From: TWS/IB Gateway don't respond to orders submitted from Sierra Chart

I followed the instructions to setup Sierra Chart connection to Trader Workstation/IB Gateway to trading on simulated account (IBKR paper account).

I acquired data market feed from IBKR to see real time futures contracts (MES in this case). I could open this symbol on Sierra Chart, which showed the corresponding chart successfully.

Then I submitted several orders from Sierra Chart but neither TWS nor IB Gateway didn't respond to it, in any way.

That's to say, I bought/sold several times a MES contract but IBKR paper account didn't show any order submitted, neither TWS nor IB Gateway.

Then I looked on Sierra Chart trade activity log, field: Order Action Source I read: "Trade simulation fill" for every order submitted by me.

I setted TWS to get the log files (log.day.txt and api.clientId.day.log) but in C:/JTS I could not find these files (well, this is a ibkr problem)

Any idea on how I can solve this issue?
