About simulated trading:

Perhaps I'm not getting how to setup it correctly.

1. SC DATA - sim1 account works fine. But it looks like it's only one account for simulating and recording daily profit and loss in points without demo money, margins, stats engaged? My account for FDAXM futures is there but cannot change it's balance or margins, canot activate it, cannot make a new trading account.

2. Trading Evaluator(delayed) - my demo account created alright, margins for symbols are there, I expect to meet the simulated trading environment with proper point value per contract and ,,real money'' profit and losses etc. But it doesn't work...

It looks like when a trade account is created it's considered as a ,,real account'' and Trading Evaluator - delayed wouldn't allow to execute the order.

So how can I reconfigure sim1 account to meet my requirements ? And what's the Trading Evaluator for in the end ?

Or is it the case of not having a proper demo account at any brokerage services so I can't virtualize the whole experience ?


(PS. Now I'm unable to place a sim1 SC Data order on FDAXM, I place one successful bracket order, flattened it. The next one doesn't fire up , the log says: StartDateTimeForLoadingOrderFills: 00:00:00 (?) These orders are on trade activity log, as it appears, but never showed up on the screen. I;m on delayed data from today's NY session. When I restart Sierra it let's me do 1 trade, then i'm locked out, nothing comes up on pressing buy/sell. Also is there an option to disable/enable moving the brackets? It worked yesterday, today it stopped working. )
