Custom Trading Panel like Chart Trader

[esmall]

I have written a strategy in Ninja Trader 7 creating my own trading panel on my chart. One function that I can only do by restarting the Strat is
changing trading accounts from Sim to Live. Does anyone know how to code that as a field in the panel like Chart Trader. I can do a drop box and find
the account names.

Hello esmall,

Thanks for your post. We directed you to the forums in case any community members have insight for unsupported approaches as this would not be possible through supported code.

Strategies will need to be disabled and reconfigured in order to have their account changed.

Something to consider is if you build an AddOn for NinjaTrader 8, you can use AddOn Framework code to submit orders from an Account object and you can use an Account Selector to change accounts. AddOn framework code can be used in any NinjaScript type in NinjaTrader 8. You can read more about that below.

AddOn Framework - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t_overview.htm

We look forward to assisting.

Dear Jim,
We are not ready or interested in porting to Ninja 8. This function, changing trading accounts, can be done in Ninja 7 Chart Trader so one can assume there must be a way to do it, change accounts in a custom panel as in my picture.

As far as changing the account while a strategy is running, I don't know.

But if you're able to code a ChartTrader panel and build the dropdown to
select an account name, you can enter orders against the selected
account by using the OIF interface.

Which begs this technical point: your ChartTrader panel does not necessarily
have to be built as a Strategy.

IMHO, I don't think NT7's Chart Trader has a 'change trading account'
function, per se. I'm betting that's not how they do it.

You select the account in the NT7 Chart Trader, and, when a button is
clicked, that account is specified as an argument to an internal order
management routine,

I suspect the OIF Interface may be the (somewhat crude) customer facing
API to the internal order submission routines used by ChartTrader.
