When I Backtest a strategy and then send orders to the Quotes and Triggers Page, I cannot seem to get the orders to Auto-Place when triggered (I'm using Alpaca Paper Account BTW).
Interestingly, orders CAN be sent to the order manager page using Auto-Stage and then manually placed from there, but, I thought that perhaps the purpose of Auto-Place was to avoid those extra steps.
Anyone else having these issues?

Since I use this feature to trade every day for years, maybe you're missing a switch?
Please show a screenshot of the failure scenario.

Thx Cone. I don't see any "switches" per se, but I have been careful about properly setting the source of my streaming data, as well as the destination of the orders themselves. I'll see what I can put together for you to look at.
But, let me ask this ...should I expect to be able to Auto-Place orders from the Quotes and Price Trigger Window to any operational account that I have which can manually accept orders? Such as a TD Ameritrade Account, or an Alpaca paper Account, or even a WL8 Dummy Account?

Yes you specify the desired broker/account in the Quotes tool.
If you're using Preferences > Trading > Use Broker Account value for Equity-based PosSizers, make sure the correct Broker Account is selected on the Signals page before sending your signals to Quotes.
By "Signals page" are you referring to the Backtest Results page?
I know that my proper account (Alpaca or WL Dummy Account #x) and Streaming Provider (IQFeed) are set correctly in the Quotes & Price Triggers Page, but even with a WL Published Strategy like Neo Master, no signals are received by either Alpaca or WL Dummy Broker #x.
I don't believe I've ever been able to enable the Auto-Placement of orders from the Quotes and Triggers page. I realize you have been doing this for years but obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Not Backtest Results.
This is the Signals page for the Strategy Window - it only appears when there are Signals.
And the Strategy Monitor has a Signals pane for the selected Strategy item -
We're still waiting for your screen shot of how this fails for you.

Working on that. Sometimes, working on a clear and concise written explanation of the problem can produce the solution.
