SC 1192/Pkg 3/Rithmic, I had live positons/orders working, and during the market close period, switched my datafeed to the SC Historical to retrieve more historical data for a chart. Without any indication or warning, SC switched to SIM mode, and remained in SIM mode even after switching back to my normal trading datafeed. I had live positions/orders working, and was lucky I noticed, and had to manually exit SIM mode to get them working again. What is the reason for this, and how can I avoid this behavior?

This would only happen if you try to submit an order with a service that does not support non-simulated trading. It will not happen merely by changing the Data/Trading Service.

I don't understand why it would switch to SIM without any warning even if this was the case that I accidently tried to submit/modify an order while connected to SC Historical, risking my actual live positions/orders. Can you add an option to disable this behavior, and also a prompt anytime SC is going to disable management of live working positions/orders? This would be a critical risk management issue.

When you are using a service that does not support trading, switching to trade simulation mode is automatic for ease-of-use. And also, when an automated trading system is making a trade, we cannot provide a prompt.

How can I access SC Historical data when needed without compromising my live position/order risk management?

We are not sure what you are asking about here. If you are disconnecting from your live account then you are already compromising access to your account because you are disconnecting from it. We cannot provide further help with this. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
