I was hoping you guys can make a adjustment to the charts, when it is in sim mode. Are you able to create something like a watermark (Sierra Charts Sim Mode) as an example that can not be hidden or colored over with the background color of the charts.

Reason I request this is simply because I have noticed a lot of people selling "services" and using sim mode while claiming its a real live account. Sometimes its hard to catch as people change colors, hide labels, etc. However, I have noticed a few slip when showing their DOM to realize their limit orders did not add to the book.

Anyway, since charting is the most thing shared. I would love to see sim mode be sim mode without the ability to hide it and I think I unremovable watermark on the charts is the way it can be done.


Best,

I completely agree and would love to see this implemented.

Too easy to manipulate sim to scam and post fake results, which definitely happens and creates mistrust in the platform.

Would love an irrefutable way to identify sim vs cash.

It should be a add-on and folks that are simple against it....are questionable to me.

Do it. Add that sucka and take one step towards crushing scammers who take advantage of your platform.

A very good idea.
If not a water mark, then maybe set chart border to a different color.
Make life difficult for these guys who claim to be educators but are out to rip people off.
