I have just a few days left to try Sierra chart and I couldn't find the possibility to display margins for future contracts. Were I can see margins once the order has been filled?
Also were I can see opened and working trades already? If I go to TRADE-TRADE POSITION WINDOW, it's always empty even if I have a working position.
The same about ACCOUNT BALANCE : I've never seen it changing in ACCOUNT BALANCES WINDOW It's always the same.

You will find the answers to your questions for the windows you are referencing here:
Trading Information Windows

To monitor your simulated trading positions, refer to:
Trade Activity Log: Trade Statistics for Charts (Chart Stats) Tab

We will be offering a delayed futures data feed soon which can be used for trade simulation and will all be included in our Advanced service package. There is no other additional cost. We expect all of this to be out next month. The upcoming delayed simulation service is what is documented here but it will be delayed:
Simulated Futures Trading Service

The simulated futures trading service does calculate margins but it does not show them to you, and it also maintains a simulated account balance.

The Trade Simulation mode within Sierra Chart does not maintain an account balance.
