Doing a backtest using an EasyLanguage code with the function "OrderTicket.Send(true)" results in the following error:

"Error Initialising the Analysis Engine:
elsystem.InvalidOperationException: 'Please check "Enable order placement objects" the general tab of the Customize dialog'

I went to that dialog in the EasyLanguage file and the "Enable order placement objects" checkbox is always greyed out/disabled.

What am I missing? Thanks for any hints.

Is the code saved as a Strategy or Indicator?

Strategy

What version of TradeStation? I'm using 10.x and only see that message/checkbox on indicators (and I'm able to check/uncheck my "strategy", which is actually an indicator with order placement object support).

Not sure if this matters, but I have this defined at the top:
#region - Usings
using charting;
using elsystem;
using elsystem.collections;
using elsystem.drawing;
using elsystem.drawingobjects;
using elsystem.io;
using elsystem.windows.forms;
using tsdata.common;
using tsdata.marketdata;
using tsdata.trading;
#endregion

...may not matter in your case. Have you checked the TS forums?

TradeStation version is 10.0, Update 1011, EasyLanguage Version 10.96.30.9630.
I see the order placement object checkbox in both Strategy and Indicator. In Indicator it is also greyed out.
