Link instrument to an account

[wesch]

Hello,
I trade with multiple accounts (TD Ameritrade and Continuum for example).
When I switch between charts in NJ8, the account might also change ... so, if I make a trade using TD on one tab, then move back to another, the account has changed and I need to switch it make trades on that tab.

Is there a way to link permanently an instrument to use a certain account?

Thank you!

Wesch, thank you for posting to our forum.

The Chart Trader in NinjaTrader is going to be global when switching tabs. For example, if you select your TD Ameritrade account in one tab, it changes the account throughout all tabs of the same chart window. As a workaround, you may want to have two separate charts: one for your equities and the other for you futures.

If you would like, I can submit a feature request to our development team for each Chart Trader in each tab to save and not change.

If questions come up or if we may be of any further assistance, please let us know.
