Entering Buy/Sell Limit orders before Market opens

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hi scjohn, unfortunately you need incoming data to place those orders on your Sim101 account with the simulation engine, please try this with the market open and bid / ask data present. Thanks!

In Simulation Mode I will get an error message saying: No market data to drive simulation engine.....

Most of the time I'm entering buy limit orders before the market opens. I usually start this process 15 minutes before the market opens because sometimes I have a lot of orders to enter. I am using the Orders tab to enter my orders.

I have not been able to find a setting that will force the Simulation Engine to accept the order. Is there some way to get these orders accepted before the market opens and there is currently no bid/ask?

thanks.
