Hi-I want to click trade and have orders managed through SCs DOM through the alerts from the SSFT. Would i set the SENDORDERSTOTRADESERVICE to FALSE, connect my trading service provider and then that would allow a me to send orders through my trade service?

This is a completely confusing question. We do not understand it.

I currently have my brokerage service connected and I want to manually put trades through SCs trade window utilizing the attached orders for my stop/profit. Can you please direct me to the appropriate area.

So my brokerage service is connected to Sierra Charts DOM under the main tab and I have checked the box to route my orders to SC attached orders and I can see my brokerage provider is also listed. Im seeming not to see the orders use the supplied stop/profit take when the orders are routed let alone see the PnL statement within SCs SSSFT or the trade window box attached to my chart fluctuate when in a position. Is there something simple that I might be missing??

We just realized what you meant by SSSFT. You mean Spreadsheet System for Trading. Are you performing automated trading?

Let us focus just on simple order entry without Attached Orders. Make sure Sierra Chart is not in Trade Simulation Mode:

Connect to your Interactive Brokers paper trading account. Enter a simple buy market order and let us know if you then have a Trade Position within Sierra Chart for that symbol.
