Hi,

1) I understand that individual orders can be closed using the trade orders window whist on sim. However I'm finding that the order shows up less than 50% of the time when it's placed on the depth of market tool, and when it does show, it wipes off in less than a minute (rather than 20 minutes which was suggested in the manuals). Is there a problem with the trade orders window in the sim setting?

2) I want to be able to trade so that I exit my last order FIRST (rather than first order first) - how do I do this?

Thank you for your time

1. In the case of simulated trading, you can only close/flatten the position from a chart Trade Window:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window

2. What you are referring to is the matching of order fills after there are executions. You can control this with this Chart Setting:
Chart Settings: Use Last In First Out Fill Matching (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

Thank you for your reply. Does that mean that the trade orders window will be available during real trading?

And if I have multiple positions open during a trade in sim mode, is there a way of seeing a list of my trades from the chart trade window and closing them individually?

Thanks
