Shadow Strategy - Change Default Sim Account

[w0lverine]

When I enable shadow strategies, is their a way to enable the shadow strategy to a particular sim account instead of the default sim101 account?

Hello w0lverine,

Are you referring to a fully automated custom programmed NInjaScript Strategy?

Or are you referring to an Atm Strategy for manually placed entry orders.

Hey!,

And a Atm Strategy for manually placed entry orders.

Hello w0lverine,

Unfortunately, there is not a selector to change the sim account for an Atm Shadow Strategy in trade windows.

I will submit a feature request on your behalf for the NinjaTrader Development to consider this for a future version of NinjaTrader.
Once I have a tracking ID for this request I will post in this thread for future reference.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hello w0lverine,

I've received tracking ID #SFT-3287 for this request to change the sim account for Atm Shadow Strategies.

Please note it is up to the NinjaTrader Development to decide if or when any request will be implemented.

We appreciate your feedback on this.

Be good to have the shadow account feature in Playback mode. Looks like this currently is not possible as only Playback account shows up in Account when on a Playback connection.

Hello greenshank,

I will forward the suggestion to support the shadow account feature with the Playback connection. Thank you for your feedback.
