Is there a way to save the settings when I enable/disable the "trade simulation mode on" feature under Trade? As an example, I would like to save and use a specific live trading account when I disable trade simulation mode. Currently, when I disable trade simulation mode, I need to select the account for each chart I have on the workbook

The prior used non-simulated trading account should be restored when you go back out of Trade Simulation Mode. This is by design. After you select the Trade Account, select File >> Save. But this is not really necessary unless you close the Chartbook without saving it and have this issue when you reopen the Chartbook.

There is also the Trade Window linking feature:

Your explanation is correct on the primary instance of Sierra Chart. However, when there is second instance of Sierra Chart running, when I disable the Trade Simulation Mode, the account on the trade window stays as "Sim1". Even though, the live accounts were saved, I need to manually select the live account from the drop down. Any ideas on how to make this work like the primary instance so I don't need to manually change the Sim1 account to the live account?

we have run a test and we see what you are saying and we will implement a solution to this in the next release.

The reason for the behavior as it exists now is that in a sub instance a simulation account is a valid account to use when the instance is not in Trade Simulation Mode.
