In the case of a sub instance, refer to:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance: Using the Correct Trade Account (Rejections Related to Simulation Mode)

And you need to make sure that if you are running more than one main instance of Sierra Chart, that they use a different port number for the DTC server. Otherwise, there will be conflicts. Refer to:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance: Resolving DTC Protocol Server Port Number Conflicts

Also if you are getting this message:
: Non-simulated trade account (xxxxx) cannot be used with trade simulation mode.
Then definitively Trade Simulation Mode is enabled in the main instance and you may have more than one main instance of Sierra Chart running than you are aware of.
