Hi - Thanks for the quick response. I am ready now to conduct some backtesting and have my service set to "Trading Evaluator". I am following the steps listed here: Auto Trade System Back Testing: Replay Back Testing - Automatic and am finding the steps somewhat confusing... Could you clarify the following for me? 1) Step 3 says to check "Trade >> Auto Trading Enabled", but there are 2 menu items with that wording -- "Global" and "Chart". Which should I choose? 2) If I try to check "Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On" I get this error in the log: "Service client does not support enabling Trade Simulation Mode". What should this menu item setting be if I'm working with the SC Trade Sim service? 3) Step 1 says to disconnect from the service, then Step 2 says to load data... which immediately reconnects to the service. For backtesting, should I be connected to the SC service or not? 4) In my ACSIL code I have sc.SendOrdersToTradeService set to false. Is this OK for backtesting with the SC Trade Sim service? 5) Choosing "Trade >> Auto Trade System Replay Back Test" results in the same error as in Q2 above: "Service client does not support enabling Trade Simulation Mode". How can I do backtesting with the SC Trade Sim service (Trading Evaluator)?? Thank you! :)
