I'd like to use the Use Live Position option to when running weekly strategies. Based on the help, Use Live Positions only works on in the Quotes and Strategy Monitor windows. However, Strategy Monitor doesn't seem to support Weekly strategies. There doesn't appear to be a configuration option. When I open a strategy from Strategy Monitor, it shows as Daily. To confirm, is there no way to use the Strategy Monitor for Weekly strategies?
If the answer is that it's not supported, is there any way to use Live Positions using the backtester?

To be clear, Live Positions works for the Strategy Monitor and Streaming Strategy Windows (not Quotes).
Weekly Strategies are supported. The Strategy will run at the scheduled time Daily, but to follow a weekly Strategy, you'd trade the signals only at the end of the Week. (Don't use Auto-Place.)

Thanks. Not sure how I missed that. So now I'm playing with it and was expecting it to give me a sell signal but none given. I looked in the Strategy Monitor log and saw

Where can I find out more about the Object reference error? For testing this I am using a very simple strategy.

This is probably the same error reported here.
Here's how you can avoid it until Build 106:
1. Strategy Monitor's item > Configure...
2. Temporarily select any Intraday scale > like 1 minute.
3. Uncheck "Filter Pre/Post Market Data"
4. Re-select Daily (or Weekly...) Scale.
5. OK

I can verify the latest WL update resolved this issue. Thanks!
