    Hello 7robert,

    Thanks for your note.

    All operations made using a simulated account in NinjaTrader occur locally on your PC, so the only relationship between your simulated accounts and your Interactive Brokers accounts would be that the simulated accounts use market data from the Interactive Brokers connection. The simulator has no way of differentiating which brokerage account is being used- it's only concerned with whether or not live data is available.

    Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

        Hello 7robert,

        Thanks for your reply.

        For live trading, you'll want to be connected to both accounts through Interactive Brokers, then select the desired account for each strategy in the Strategies tab or an order entry window (Chart Trader, SuperDOM, etc.). All available account will show in in the Account menu, shown in the following screenshot: http://prntscr.com/offivp

          I think I'm not understanding well.
          I know how to make the connections from IB to NT using different ports, but IDK how to use half of my strategies with one IB account and the other half with another IB account.

          A example here:

            Hello 7robert,

            Thanks for your reply.

            The account that's used by NinjaTrader will be whichever one in selected in the Account menu. For example, if you have two Chart Trader windows open and have a strategy running in each one, you could have each strategy trade to a different account by selecting different accounts in the Account drop-down menu. As long as you're connected to both Interactive Brokers accounts, both should be available in the drop-down.

            Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
