How to get Global simulation mode status?

[tradesmart]

Is there some method of determining programmatically whether Global simulation mode is in effect?

Hello tradesmart,

This can be found through the account connection options mode.

myAccount.Connection.Options.Mode

Hello tradesmart,

Yes, I've tried the following code, but the mode returned is always "Live" regardless of the status of Global Simulation Mode.

ConnectOptions connectOptions = null;
lock (Core.Globals.ConnectOptions)
    connectOptions = Core.Globals.ConnectOptions.FirstOrDefault();
Print(connectOptions.Name + " Mode: " + connectOptions.Mode.ToString());

Hello tradesmart,

Thank you for reporting this behavior.

I was able to reproduce this behavior and found when connected to Kinetick with the Sim101 selected, this will show the Mode as Live and when connected to NinjaTrader Continuum with the live demo account selected will show the Mode as Simulation.

I've submitted a report about this to our development. Once I have a tracking ID for this issue I will post this in this thread for future reference.

Please let me know if you find any other behavior you feel is incorrect with the NinjaTrader Platform.

Hi tradesmart,

Got word back from our development.

Core.Globals.TradingOptions.IsGlobalSimulationMode is what we are after.

The setting I was pulling was from the account connection settings in the config on the demo checkbox.
