Post From: Options-Trading: not working in demo-mode anymore?

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I was trading Options on the DAX in demo-mode over the last days and it is was working fine...
Starting with today, I see the prices but I cannot trade it anymore!?

When I press the buy button, it says "filled" but in the orders and positions window I do not see any position... the trade activity log confirms I traded:
ActivityType  DateTime  Symbol  OrderActionSource  InternalOrderID  ServiceOrderID  OrderType  Quantity  BuySell  Price  Price2  OrderStatus  FillPrice  FilledQuantity  TradeAccount  OpenClose  ParentInternalOrderID  PositionQuantity  FillExecutionServiceID
Fill  2015-08-26 10:19:18.003  [Sim]C.US.DCV1510150  Trade simulation fill. Bid: 370.900006 Ask: 378.700006 Last: 374.800006  23598  23598  Market  1  Buy      Filled  378.7  1  Sim4  Open    1  23598.2

If I try to flatten the position, the log says:
ActivityType  DateTime  Symbol  OrderActionSource  InternalOrderID  ServiceOrderID  OrderType  Quantity  BuySell  Price  Price2  OrderStatus  FillPrice  FilledQuantity  TradeAccount  OpenClose  ParentInternalOrderID  PositionQuantity  FillExecutionServiceID
Order  2015-08-26 10:19:29.000  [Sim]C.US.DCV1510150  Unable to Flatten or Reverse because a Position does not exist                Unspecified      Sim4        

Maybe an additional info might be helpful - when clicking in the quote board the message log says:
Currently no data in file to display. Will start historical data download and real-time updates. File: C:\Program Files (x86)\SierraChart\Data\C.US.DCV1510150.scid | 2015-08-26 10:20:18

And just to re-confirm: I do see the prices of the options and they are updating!
What do I need to do to re-establish the possibility to trade options? My datafeed is from CQG...
Thanks & regards, Markus
