Default account

[TheChingachgook]

Hi Guys

I have a very complex trading evironment:

8 monitors where I'm watching and trading up to 7 markets in parallel. each Monitor consists of 1 large trading chart and three small chart in different timeframes.

My datafeed is eSignal and my broker is IB - so I have to open two account connections.

I have developed an interactive trading strategy (fully included money, risk position and trademanagement) which I'm using for placing my orders and escorting my trades.

Whenever I start NinjaTrader I have to change all the charttraders from the Sim101 to the IB-account. Because I'm also watching where my orders (targets, stops) are being placed in the other timeframes I have to change the account in 28 charts

Because I trading via my trading strategy I have to select the IB-account even there - so in summary by 35 times!!! - this is an additional riskfactor because it already happened to me that I traded into the Sim101 ...

In the options/ATI tab exists an default account DDLB but selecting the IB-account there has no effect.

How could I solve the problem to make the IB-account to my default account.

Hi TheChingachgook, thanks for your post - unfortunately there's no global default account setting, the one you mentioned is for the AT interface only. I will forward your suggestion to development, so they can consider making this available. Thanks!
