As of a couple of days ago taking trades in Sim Mode has been impossible.

1. When I select any of the 3 options presented to me after I hit "Replay, none of them seem to work, including "clear all trade data from account."
2. When I select Buy Market; no position is indicated, yet multiple position bells sound, and a completely erroneous P/L is instantly indicated.
3. When price hits a resting Buy limit order, no position is indicated at all, all attached orders disappear, and again and even different erroneous P/L is indicated.

How do I get Sim trade in Sim mode to work correctly again?

Thank you,

1. How do you come to this conclusion? We need a lot more details and screenshots.

2. It sounds like a Position was opened and then closed immediately . You need to analyze what has happened through the Trade Activity Log:
Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity

3. Same answer as above.

In regards to "erroneous profit/loss", this really does not make sense in the case of simulated trading. Refer to:

The above crazy scenarios occur when Sim Trading with "Micro" E-minis. I tried with standard E-minis and works fine. Not sure why it suddenly stopped working when Sim trading the Micros, but I'll use Standard E-minis from now on as long as they work.

Probably because of the bid and ask pricing is not as expected but that may not be so much of a problem anymore as the liquidity is increasing for the micro contracts.
