I have a client connected to SC (SC running as server).
I have "Trade Simulation Mode On" checked.

I have position open in SC (I see it open on the chart)

I send SC CURRENT_POSITIONS_REQUEST message.
I receive back POSITION_UPDATE message with the correct RequestID, but the position is empty (no symbol, no quantities). All I see is the account "Sim1".

This does not happen 100% of the time but it happens frequently enough.
Is this expected with "Trade Simulation Mode On"? Do you have ideas what might be wrong?

Update to this...

I send SC CURRENT_POSITIONS_REQUEST message.

I receive back from the server two messages
Message1 - RequestID == 0, has the sybmol and position filled as I expected, Unsolicited is 1
Message2 - RequestID == K, I receive back POSITION_UPDATE message with the expected RequestID (K), but the position is empty (no symbol, no quantities). All I see is the account "Sim1". Unsolicited is 0

We do see some problems related to Trade Position DTC messages when using trade simulation in a server instance of Sierra Chart from a client instance. This will be resolved in the next release.
