Hi Support,

Background:
- I have been trialing and learning to use functionality of SC via FXCM demo acc. including using Studies>>>Trading System -Study Subgraph crossover / Study based on Alert condition using Trade>>>Auto trade system bar based back test and Spreadsheet trading.
- Trade Simulation mode has been checked.
- I recently was granted access to a live FXCM account and have confirmed acc no. etc with SC. I have not enabled as yet

Problem(s)
Re Trade activity log:
- Menus Fill / All Internal Order ID's / [Sim]AllSymbols / Sim 4 shows a
Trade Simulation fill for NZDCHF. Column Price is empty. Column Order status is Filled . Column FillPrice shows price and Column OpenClose shows CLOSE

Re Chart
- one of my Charts for NZDCHF shows the Order Fill and Order and Position on the chart.
+35.0K@0.6869 |P/L -175.000P
+35.0K@.6869

Question:
- how do I reconcile TAL show CLOSE (I interpret as no position) with Chart showing a position for NZDCHF?
- would like to resolve before trading in live account

Please note
- I have tried to reconcile above via looking at Orders and Positions. I assume no position shown as this is a Sim position. Correct?
- I have manually been through every CW in each CB and unchecked Trade>>>Auto trade enabled - Chart as well as set "Enabled" field to "No" for Trading Studies. Logic is that by doing so no new Sim positions will be accidentally opened / closed.

Other
- I am also receiving some sound alerts (two single "dings") which makes me think I may have inadvertently set an alert or have missed unchecking a Trade>>>Auto trade enabled filed in a CW or setting "Enabled" field to "No" in a Study. How can I check this please? (is there a report or similar to show all settings?)
- Is it he case that sound is set to two single dings when "Apply" or "OK" in Chart Settings button is pressed? Again how can I check please?

Thanks in advance for your help
