Hello

I was trading sim this weekend with the rewind function and after I changed back to live, my live trades size, P/L and position average are no longer showing up in the DOM however on Gains site I can see them so I know they were real. Please let me know how to fix this.

Thanks

You need to disable Trade Simulation Mode:

I disabled simulation mode yesterday, my trades were executed through Sierra DOM both entries and exits however they my position size was showing flat when they were still live. I clicked trade-unchecked simulation mode or am I missing another step?

As long as Sierra Chart is connected to the Gain Capital trading server you will see the Positions in Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions. If they are not there, then try reconnecting:
File Menu: Procedure to Reconnect to the Data and Trade Servers

Otherwise there is a problem with their trading server providing Position data.

I am still having the same issue this morning I was long two contracts the DOM shows zero P/L shows 0, orders are clearly executed on the brokers site. I can exit my position however I had 1 contract left I clicked flatten and it just cancelled my open sell order and the last contract I had did not sell, however it did let me click the size and price to exit the last position. The execution does show up on the Pos QTY@Price: box when executed for about 2 seconds and then disappears

Hope this better explains the issue to help resolve

Thanks

Do you see the correct Position listed in Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions for the Symbol and Trade Account?

Actually, it just occurred to us what the problem is. The symbol you are using is not correct. Change it to ESU8.

Here are the instructions:
