Hello

I am a new user, in trial mode, and i would like to trade in simulation mode. But, i can not check the Trade Simulation Mode On and i think this is the reason why i am not in simulation mode. See snapshot for a better understanding.

In the case of when using the Trading Evaluator service this is the case because it is designed to be a server-based service to keep track of your trading. And we do not want users to accidentally enable Trade Simulation Mode preventing server-based logging.

To solve this:

To access historical and streaming market data independent from your Trading service. Follow these instructions.


Set "Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Current Selected Service" to "SC Data-All Services".

Press "OK"

And then translate the symbols in your Chartbooks in Sierra Chart using this "Edit' menu command:
Edit Menu: Edit >> Translate Symbols To Current Service (Translate Symbols to Current Service)

You can then use the data provided by Sierra Chart independent of your trading service.
