Post From: Trade order command buttons not working in control bar

With regards to the Trade Window. Any manual orders you place on a chart are going to use the settings that are setup in the Trade Window for that chart. Therefore, items like "Use Attached Orders" and the "Order Type" and "Quantity" are all going to be set by what is in Trade Window. This is also going to be true for any Control Bar buttons you are using - whatever you select in the Control Bar buttons will be reflected in the Trade Window (and vice versa).

One of the important points is that each chart/DOM has its own Trade Window. So the settings for one chart may not be the same for another. You can link the Trade Windows if you want them all to be the same all the time. Refer to the following:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Each Trade Window is Completely Independent from Others

Given the above, please give us one scenario that is not working - just one. We will then deal with that one situation and determine what is occurring. Note that what you are seeing does not have anything to do with being on a trial. It sounds like it is just getting used to how Sierra Chart functions.
