Configuring SimNow Connection Modes for 24-Hour Testing

Summary

This brief forum exchange describes a configuration issue when connecting vn.py 4.4.0 to SimNow’s 24-hour test environment. A user reports that the standard simulation connection succeeds while the 24-hour test connection fails. Another participant replies that the penetration test environment should use the test setting, while other connection environments should use the live setting; the original poster confirms that this resolves the issue.

The exchange offers a narrow operational tip about selecting the appropriate connection mode for this environment. It provides no details about credentials, endpoints, error messages, order routing, or broader CTP configuration, and it does not discuss trading methods or market evidence. Its advice is specific to the setup described and may not cover other versions or connection arrangements.

Key ideas

• The user could connect to standard SimNow simulation but not the 24-hour test environment.
• The forum reply recommends selecting the test mode for penetration testing and live mode for other environments.
• The original poster reports that this setting resolved the connection problem.
• The exchange does not provide broader CTP setup guidance.
