Trade Simulation - Orders not filling - What setting am I missing?

I have been trying to setup backtesting for my trade signals. I had a few successful runs at testing some conditions and then the orders stopped filling in the simulation. I must have inadvertently switched a setting and I can't figure out how to get back rolling again. Here is where I am at: I am using the "Spreadsheet System for Trading" study and then entering conditions into the BUY Entry and SELL Entry fields row 3, columns K and M. The spreadsheet is showing TRUE and FALSE data,0's and 1's, based on the conditions. The data feed is disconnected. User is set to SIM1. Trade Simulation is checked. Auto Trading Enabled is checked. When I run the Autotrade System Bar Based Back Test it finishes with no errors and the entry arrows are marked on the chart. Then checking the Trade Activity Log I don't have any trade statistics, everything is at 0 still. In the Trade Activity tab I only have activity for orders and no fills. I've been stuck for a while need to reach out for help. Thanks- |

Refer to this section here for help with this: Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Ignored Signals With Spreadsheet Systems or Alerts (Ignored Signals With Spreadsheet Systems Or Alerts) Also the controls at the top of the Trade Activity Log you posted a screenshot of, are not set correctly. You need to select the particular simulated Symbol and the simulated trading Account.

Thank you for the reply. My issue was that the "Trade >> Auto Trading Enabled - Global" setting was not checked but the "Trade >> Auto Trading Enabled - Chart" was. I am reading up on the "Trade Service Account Balance" which reflects the account balance supplied by your trade service on a live account. Is there a way to give your SIM accounts an account balance so the results of the back testing reflect an account with money in it? |

Account balances are not supported in Trade Simulation Mode. At some point this will be.

The concept of an account balance for the Trade Simulation functionality in Sierra Chart especially when used during a replay is a difficult concept and is not considered essential. It would create more problems, than would be helpful. There is full profit/loss tracking and highly detailed reporting and that should be more than enough. However, we do have a new server-side simulation service available which does have an account balance. Refer to: Simulated Futures Trading Service Let us know if you want us to set you up an account for this and the account balance.
