multi broker / tradestation question

[flampy]

Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find the exact question I have.

I have two accounts and I want to auto-trade two different YM charts, on different time frames, one in each account. I have the multi-broker NT license but I'm stuck as to where I can differentiate between the two YM charts.

In TradeStation I have a YM 3 minute and a 5 minute chart. How do I specify the 3min chart to auto-trade in the first brokerage account and the 5min the second?

My TS charts are named @YM under the workspace named "NinjaTrader". Do I have to set up seperate workspaces to specify which account my charts will be traded in? Do I have to look in the Instrument Editor under Misc menu to set this up?

I didn't plan on using a superDOM on every strategy unless something gets off sync. I see the selector for the account to trade in the superDOM, but not elsewhere.

Thanks in advance.

Two separate workspaces will do the trick.

Thanks! still have a question though.

I have the TS workspace named " NinjaTrader1;Account=Sim101 " and this seems to work correctly.

I have a Zen-Fire account so would the correct syntax be "NinjaTrader1;Account=XXXXX" ? or is it "NinjaTrader1;Account=XXXXX!Dorman!AMP" ? <-- is the name exactly as it appears

Also I have a wierd problem. While trading the strategy on the sim101 with a second workspace open, ex "NinjaTrader2;Account=XXXXX" I seem to be getting double the contracts on the sim101 account (I have a YM on the sim101 workspace and also a YM on the second workspace). When I close the 2nd workspace I get normal contract amount fills. Also, the 2nd workspace seems to be incorrectly named as it isn't trading correctly, so maybe that's part of the problem.

I looked on the Set Up page of the help file but I'm still seeming to have a problem.

Thanks in advance,

The Zen-Fire workspace would be called NinjaTrader1;Account=XXXXX.

As for the second question please review this link:

Alrighty, here is my next problem.

I got the TradeStation workspaces named correctly (or so I think) and I did a test run with a YM chart trading 2 contracts correctly. But when I opened the 2nd workspace, which is supposed to be routed to a different account, I'm having errors.

I ran one YM chart on workspace "NinjaTrader1;Account=XXXXX" and another YM chart (different time frame) on workspace "NinjaTrader2;Account=XXXXX".

The YM chart for the 2nd workspace is routing orders to the first account. I ended up being short 4 contracts in the first account and 0 in the 2nd, when I want it to be 2 and 2.

I can't see anything I've overlooked. I've read the link posted above and my setup seems to be correct.

Anything I should look at?

Thanks again,
