What's wrong with Risk Template

[sisenberg]

All of the sudden when trying to place trade I get an error message, "Sim101, Order... cant' be submitted: No risk settings defined for this instrument....' I checked the risk template and it is the NT Broker default. All the instruments listed. Am I missing something here? Thanks!

This indicates that you have a risk template applied to your Sim101 account and there is no definition for that instrument in the risk template.

What instrument are you trading?

[sisenberg]

The usual, CL, NQ, ES. All are listed.

Does the symptom persist if you update your risk templates? Follow these steps:

• Control Center > Tools > Database Management
• Expand 'Update risk templates' > Update

Please provide a screenshot of your Sim101 account properties. Here is an example of what I want to see:

If you temporarily disable the risk settings in the Sim101 account, are you able to place orders without issue?

[sisenberg]

Yes, I can now do it without the template being assigned.

There were some steps I asked you to perform before the screenshot and test with no risk template. Please clarify - did you perform this test?

Does the symptom persist if you update your risk templates? Follow these steps:

• Control Center > Tools > Database Management
• Expand 'Update risk templates' > Update

Also, are you using the risk templates purposefully? Or are you content with now trading without that risk template?
