Hello bergimax,

Thanks for your post.

You can select the account to use for your strategy when you apply the strategy to the chart or apply the strategy in the strategies tab. This would be selected in the "set-up" section of the strategy properties window.

Thank's for the replay, Paul!
My problem is about this code:

lock( Account.Accounts )
myAccount = Account.Accounts.FirstOrDefault( a => a.Name == "Sim102" );

For one instrument i would like to use Sim102, for other instrument the Sim 103.
I would like to create another script, only for this.

I would like to create a variable where i decide my second account in the strategies tab.

"Sim102" is a string. So use a string or an enum to be your public parameter and reference that parameter in your code.

Hello bergimax,

Thanks for your post.

Member koganam advised a solution concept. Did that satisfy your needs?

Thank's Kogonam and Paul for the assistance!

Yes, the Kogonam's answer it's what i need.
Only the last question, how can i create a drop down menu?
I try in this way, but i have an error..

private simulator second.SIM102.; // in variables

// this in the region properties
[ NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "SAccount", GroupName = "NinjaScriptStrategyParameters", Order = 0)]
public simulator second
{ get; set; }

// this is the loop

switch( second )

case simulator.SIM102 :
break;
case simulator.SIM103:
break;
.
.
.
.
defalt:
// do something


Where i mistake?

Thank's a lot!

Hello bergimax,

Thanks for your reply.

I've created a quick example for you which can be imported and applied to a chart. It does nothing (nothing in onbarupdate) but in the strategies user interface properties window you can choose between the sample accounts listed. I added notes in the .cs file at the top where the enum is located.
