Trading 2 accounts on NT8 - same Ninjatrader Broker

[kujista]

Hello,
I have developed a strategy which I trade on Ninjatrade Brokerage Account. Is it possible to trade this strategy on one computer and 2 Ninjatrader Brokerage accountz? Is it somehow possible to make 2 connections to two various Ninjatrader Brokerage Account on one computer?

Thank you for your answer and help.

Hello kujista,

Thank you for your note.

Both accounts would need to be linked to the same login credentials in order to run a strategy on two different NinjaTrader accounts in the same instance of NinjaTrader simultaneously. It would not be possible to connect to two separate NInjaTrader connections at once in the same instance of NinjaTrader.

That being said, however, if you did have two separate logins, you could use one with NInjaTrader 7 and one with NinjaTrader 8 on the same computer at the same time. However, you would need versions of the strategy for each version of NinjaTrader as Strategies for NinjaTrader 7 are not compatible with NinjaTrader 8 and vice versa as major changes were made to NinjaScript between the two versions.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

So simply said. It is not possible to trade two different accounts (2 different logins) on one machine - one ninjatrader. How can I create another account to existing login, using NT Brokerage? Is there a tutorial?

Hello kujista,

Thank you for your reply.

You would need to contact our Brokerage Support team directly as they aren't on the forums at all and there's not a way to do this on your end. You can reach them at brokeragesupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com to see if they would be able to set this up for you.
