Hi support,
I am testing some trade bot study in replay mode,
I stued to test a sma study in replay mode to make sure its working as intended.

the following setting is configed:
File >> Disconnect,
Trading->auto trading -- global enabled
Trading->auto trading -- chart enabled

the study is enabled in the chart, I was replaying the chart.
sc.SendOrdersToTradeService is set to false

I can find filled trade order for sim1, but in the trade service log, I still see trade order error for a real broker account.
but I see this trade service log, is supposed to be like this
"Trade Order Error - Cannot submit non-simulated order when in Trade Simulation Mode. Internal Order ID: 50336. Service Order ID: (none)."
I'm not sure if this is an error or its the correct log that is preventing to send to broker account in replay?
could you help to explain please?

Check the time and date for that line in the log and see if is actually from the time you are backtesting.

If it is, then do you have "Order Allocation to Trade Accounts" enabled and that account setup to be copied to? If so, then you need to disable the Order Allocation while you are doing the backtesting.
