In another post Sierra Chart Support said regarding simulated and live automated trading systems:

"Sierra Chart globally can have Trade Simulation Mode disabled but an automated trading system can operate in Trade Simulation Mode."

How is this accomplished exactly? I would like the live version of my automated trading system to shut off at at a certain drawdown threshold but have a simulated version continuing trading so i can receive a signal of a new equity high and resume live trading again. I am using the Spreadsheet system for trading. Thanks for any help you might offer. Steve.

This is no longer supported.

What you can do though is disable your trading system by using this cell:
