Interactive Brokers Group accounts

[pbcah]

Hello,

I'm running NT7.14 and see Ninja allows me to select the multiple sub accounts, the Group accounts or individual accounts that you can setup in IB.

As we're doing sizing based on the Cash Value of the account, how can I retrieve the aggregate (sum) balance of all the sub-accounts that make up a group of IB accounts that I can now select by name (such as the group "Family") inside NT7.

Regards,

Paul

Hello,

Please first upgrade to Beta .15 as this is the current beta build.

As far as account groups please ee this documentation:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/managing_account_groups.htm?zoom_highlightsub=group

I don't believe there is any changes to how account groups function in NT7 vs NT 6.5. Basically what you can do is add the accounts to a single account group and then that order is replicated to all the account in the account group. There is currently no way to change what order sizes are sent to what accounts as all it does is replicate the orders.


Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Brett, in my original post, I referred to IB groups not Account Groups that you can construct in NT7.

Right now any Account Group that I create in Interactive Brokers TWS appears as a selectable account in NT7. The problem is that only U accounts present a Cash Value. I'd like to start trading the account allocation groups listed from the TWS IB setup.

How can I read the cash value for the group account that NT7 now lists in the account selection drop down?

Paul,

I believe it will show up after you make your first trade, or maybe at the end of the day. It shows up when IB reports it.
