ChartTrader in Sim101 mode, no Accounts in pull down menu?

[borntostun]

Hi all.

New user trying to use in Sim101 mode. I've been trying to place an order using charttrader. The Account pull down is blank, with no options to select there. the same goes for the TIF pulldown.

So when I attempt to place an order using the button in ChartTrader, it asks me to select an account . . .

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Hello borntostun,

Thank you for your post.

This would possibly indicate that you are not connected to a data connection.

You will be able to select an account after connecting to your data feed.

This can be done by selecting it under the Connections dropdown menu in the Control Center.

OK, under Connections I have Live Playback anbd Simulation. I selected Simulation and it connected with a green dot. No dots beside live and playback.

If I also connect to 'Live' it gives me a green dot . . . so a dot beside Simulation AND Live at this point. The Account pulldown now shows my account number, but still no SIM101 option in the ChartTrader pulldown. Any idea why?

Thanks

Hello borntostun,

If you wish to use the Sim101 account specifically you will first need to turn on Multi-Provider Mode:

How to enable Multi-Provider Mode

Then you may manually create your account connection:

Creating your account connection

The Sim101 account will then be in the Account dropdown after connecting to your account/data feed

Yay! That worked. Thanks all. Much appreciated.
