Hello If I selected 0 contracts on the trading panel, will the market still trade at 1 contract or will it not trade?

It will change to a value of 1 and submit the trade for a quantity of 1. You can easily test this in Simulation Mode to see how it functions. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Where it says Time in force dropdown menu What do all of the different ones do and is there one where you can set a specific time e.g. of 15 minutes and when the timer runs out it will flatten the trade if it did not hit the take profit or stop loss line? if there is an option for this, would it run on the server side and still count the time down if I loss access to the software?

is there a link to show what each one means with a description? With the one that says good till date - time, will it give you the option to just use time?

You really need to check with the exchange that you are working with to see which ones are supported and what each one means to that exchange. As noted in the section we sent you to, for the CME Group the option for "Good to Date-Time" will only use the Date and will treat it as a "Day" Time in Force. You can also review the following section for how these items work in our Simulation Mode, but this is only for our Simulation Mode, it is not how the exchanges act - again, you need to check with the exchanges to find out whether each is supported and how: Trade Simulation: Time In Force for Trade Simulation Mode For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Teton is the Order Routing service. The exchange you will be working with is the CME Group (as that is the only exchange that Teton works with). You would need to check with the CME Group for what options they support and what each option means to them.
