Emails are not sent for trade confirmations in paper trading
Describe the bug
Email confirmations are not being received for trade confirmations in paper trading when account configuration has this enabled. This does work for live accounts just not paper trading accounts.
It is assumed the emails are never sent but this was not verified. They may be being sent but some other factor causes them to not be received. This behavior has been reported by a number of users so it's unlikely a client email issue.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to a paper trading account and set "Trade Confirmation Emails" to ON
- Place an order and wait to fill
- Once filled, no email is received
Expected behavior Receive an email delivered to the email address listed in the account
However, if for some reason emails cannot be sent for paper accounts. Then at least disable this feature in account configuration for paper accounts.
