Why a Simulated Trading Run May End After Market Hours
Summary
This brief support thread explains why a client-side simulated live-trading run may stop immediately without displaying a timer. A reply attributes the missing timer to an outdated environment version and recommends switching to the latest version. It also says that running a template strategy after the market has closed can cause it to finish automatically, and suggests trying again during the next trading session.
The discussion is useful as basic platform troubleshooting, but it is not a trading method or strategy. The thread contains no independent diagnosis, detailed steps beyond pointing to a tutorial, or evidence that these are the only causes. A later commenter asks whether the strategy must be started each day, but the thread does not resolve that question. Its guidance is specific to the platform behavior described and may depend on the client version and trading schedule.
Key ideas
- An outdated environment version may explain why the simulated run shows no timer.
- A template strategy started after market close may end automatically.
- The reply recommends updating the environment and trying the run during trading hours.
- The thread does not establish whether daily manual restarts are required.
