SimNow Paper Trading Does Not Support Market Orders

Summary

This short community exchange addresses why orders may fail in a SimNow simulated trading account even when login and account queries work and the user has checked the configuration. The reply identifies a specific environment limitation: SimNow does not support market orders. That distinction can help diagnose a setup where connectivity is functioning but order execution is not.

The post provides no further troubleshooting steps, supported order types, exchange details, or evidence beyond the respondent’s statement. It therefore serves as a narrow operational note about the simulator rather than a general explanation of order handling. Traders should treat the advice as specific to the SimNow environment described; the discussion does not establish whether other causes could also prevent simulated trades from filling.

Key ideas

• A SimNow user reported that account access worked while attempted trades did not execute.
• The reply attributes the issue to SimNow not supporting market orders.
• The exchange distinguishes successful connectivity and account queries from order-type compatibility.
• The discussion offers no broader diagnostic procedure or detail about other possible execution failures.
