Problem connecting to multiple machines

[aslane]

I am having an issue trying to connect to multiple Ninja instances on multiple machines. I have a TS strategy that runs on multiple charts, and each strategy calls SetUp() with a unique host name. Each strategy indicates that it is connected. However, when orders are issued they always go to the machine that was connected first.

Another symptom is I can not change the host I want to connect to after one is initially connected. For example, once one connection is made, if that strategy is removed from the chart and a new one inserted with a different host, it will connect to the original host (even though SetUp() was called again).

So, how can I connect to multiple hosts? What am I doing wrong?

This is true with 6.0 and 6.5.

You only can connect to the machine you issued once (!) in the SetUp call before any other ATI call. Multiple SetUp calls in the same TS session have no effect, you would need to restart TS.

Ok, nice to confirm what I expected the answer would be.

This would be a nice thing to add in the future, as it allows different Ninja instances to manage different accounts with different feeds (better than multi-broker version IMO).

Thanks for your suggestion. We'll add it to the list of future considerations.
