Hi. My paper accounts are still showing many glitches. I really do not think the paper accounts are set up correctly.

In any case, while the paper accounts are auto trading, can I still get live trade alerts ( with the siren and the limit price percentage bars included?) I used to get these live trade alerts before I set up the paper accounts to auto trade. Now I see the paper accounts auto trading ( with many glitches,) but I do not get the live trade alerts. Is there any way I can do both things simultaneously? thanks.

Sure it's no problem, at least it shouldn't be. There's nothing special that you have to do, other than to make sure that the Strategies are assigned to the paper or live account. Alerts will be directed appropriately.

You did not understand my question. I was asking how to set wlp up so that the alerts will go to both directions which will enable the paper accounts to continue auto trading as well as produce live trade alerts with the siren and the percentage bars, etc. for live trading.

I just answered that question, but I'll repeat. You have to make sure that the Strategies are assigned to the paper or live account. User Guide: Reference > Dialogs > Strategy Explorer > Set Account...
