Hello junkone,

Thank you for your note.

When you add the strategy to the chart, you will have an option to choose the account, see my screenshot.

can it be set programatically

Unfortunately this is not supported.

Can the programmatic setting of the account be added as a feature?

I would find this useful.

I have forwarded your request to development for future consideration.

Have a great day and happy trading!

Just wanted to add that I'd like to see that feature too (and programmatic access to the account info like current balance would be nice as well).

The idea behind this is so that a strategy can put itself into sim mode (but keep trading) and back into live mode.
