Sim Account Case NtDirect.dll

[Atomic]

My sim account listed in the platform is Sim101, but orders using the NtDirect dll seems to require SIM101.
Is this correct?

Hello Atomic,

Thank you for your post.

You'd want to use "Sim101" not SIM101. I've tested and the following would submit a limit order at the specified price on the Sim101 account:

Command("PLACE", "Sim101", "ES 06-22", "BUY", 1, "LIMIT", 4512.00, 4513.00, "DAY", "", "MyOrder", "", "");

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

For the longest time, that's what I thought, but right now, it seems I have to use upper case. Here is an example.
First I submitted TestOrder7873 using account name SIM101, and the order was immediately processed.
Then I submitted TestOrder4506 using account name Sim101 and there was never an execution. Everything else is the same except the account name. The actual account name in the NT Platform is Sim101 (lower case).

Hello Atomic,

Thank you for your reply.

Looks like you are using OIF files, not the DLL interface to place orders. Is that correct? My answer above is for the DLL interface.

Here's an example of an OIF command for a market order, for that you would use SIM101:

PLACE;SIM101;ES 03-22;BUY;1;MARKET;0;0;DAY;;;;

I am using dll. That is all I have ever used.

I have a hunch that when I reboot everything it will go back to the way it was

Hello Atomic,

Thank you for your reply.

I've put this line in the Ninja7Api example here so it submits it from one of the button presses, and I'm seeing this work with NinjaTrader 7:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/strategy-development/100199-orders-are-not-displayed-in-chart?p=793626#post793626

Command("PLACE", "Sim101", "ES 06-22", "BUY", 1, "MARKET", 0, 0, "DAY", "", "MyOrder", "", "");

When capitalized, it looks like it tries to place the order but never actually submits.

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

I know what you are saying, but right now, it works the opposite for me.

Once I restarted my computer it went back to accepting the lower case account number.
