Hello,

I am on version 2924. I'm looking to get acquainted with trading in SC and configuring trade settings in sim before hooking it up to a live account. When I open trade window for the first time it seems to be fine. But if I try to open trade window anytime thereafter in same session, the trade window opens but I keep getting
| Unable to initialize Button. *
. pop up in message log. Same goes for when I click Attach Trade Window.

With the same instance open, if I close the chartbook then click Open Chartbook from control bar SC closes. I've never seen that happen before so I assume it's connected to the sequence of trying to use the trade window?

The only troubleshooting I could find myself was moving the .twconfig files out of Data folder and seeing if that stops the
| Unable to initialize Button. *
when opening trade window but it does not...

Any known solution to this? Thank you.

No worries, thanks for letting me know. When the new release is out should I use Download Current Version or Download PreRelease?

Appreciate it.
