Global Sim mode Info On/Off
Global Simulated Mode is ignored for all account connections for sim/demo/replay, backtest, and evaluation trading accounts. However, if you are connected to a live trading account with Global Simulated Mode – Off that means NinjaTrader is ready for live trading and AFT assumes you are live trading and flags this notice if you have no live trading licenses for the modules you are using.
- You can use non-licensed AFT with “Global Simulated mode On” – control center > File > Global Simulated mode > Checked
