Tradeprice = True means to replace the BuyPrice, SellPrice, etc. with
those of the Foreign symbol.
You still must have the symbol selected or available in a filter
Watchlist or use "all symbols" in order to get it to trade.
Did you try my second suggestion? That clearly works for me (provided
it's available in the list of stocks you are testing...what I just about
using "filter" or "all symbols")

Hi Terry,
no it is not working that way either. Those parameters have a
different meaning (fixup, tradeprice).
