Connecting to IB & Transact

[monypat]

I have three accounts, 2 with IB 1 with Transact. Can I enter the same trade simultaneously to these 3 accounts through one action and can I change stop loss and exits after the trade is initiated? I will be trading the same vehicle, lot size etc.

Hello monypat,

You can enter the same trade to all three accounts by creating an account group. You can find more information about account groups at the following link.

Please note that any modifications or cancellations must be managed for each account seperately.

However, Transact is not a supported broker partner of ours. So you can't trade your Transact account with NinjaTrader. You can still create an account group for the two IB accounts and route the same order to both accounts.

Thats a pity that subsequent modifications are managed seperately. Will this be changed in future releases?

I saw Infinity was listed as a supported broker, this uses Transact as the frontend and clearing.

I will forward your inquiry to our development team and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations for the software.

Eventhough Transact uses Infinity as their front end and for clearing, it is not possible to trade your Transact account in NinjaTrader.

I actually have an Infinity account, which you say you support, could you please explain why it will not work if my account is Infinity.

Infinity clear through Transact and the software appears to be the same.

If you have an account with Infinity it is possible to trade it in NinjaTrader and put the account in an account group.

I do not see Infinity in the drop down menu, what is it under?
