For live testing in sim, I am keeping my sierra charts in simulation mode however, when I apply a study to a chart, the chart statistics shows the statistcis as if the study was backtested on the chart, not just the live data coming in going forward. How may I fix this?

This is a better way to live or "Forward" test:

Simulated Futures Trading Service

When you use this service, your PC is not simulating the exchange, but a server in the Chicago area is. The round trip delay is closer to reality than Sim mode.

Thank you, I'll check it out. But why is it that when I enable a strategy on a chart to forward test and then check the next day, it says the first fill of the "forward" test was a couple weeks ago?
