I have IDA Pro 6.6, and I'm trying to trace read/write access to some address.

According to the documentation it is possible, and there are "nice" menu options under Debugger->Tracing menu: "Add write trace", "Add read/write trace", "Add execution trace".

I would be happy to try these, but no matter what I've tried all the mentioned menu options are disabled (grayed out). What do I need to do in order to be able to use these options?

    Thanks Dominik! I've gone through this post earlier but it was not helpful for the issue. Anyway, after clicking around I've found the solution. Thanks anyway! – Aleksandar Pesic Mar 02 '15 at 17:02

Finally I've found: mentioned options are available only from disassembly view, not from hex view. Just place a cursor within disassembly view and right-click menu, as well as main Debugger->Tracing menu will have these options enabled.
