A Trading Account to Re-Direct Trades into Live/Sim?

[theGreek]

Not sure if this is exactly the correct place in the forum, but here goes my question.

I have a trading strategy that relies on myself placing physically placing the orders (not 'automated') and them being recognized through the API to IB's TWS.

I find that I am quite consistent on the simulation trading account; but whenever I trade on my live account, I am only ever break even. I attribute this loss mostly to the difficulty of emotions of trading, and not to the actual strategy itself.

I am wondering if there is a way to make a 'dummy' account in NT. This 'dummy' account would accept my orders as normal, but I wouldn't know whether it got directed to a real account, or a simulation account. Basically this 'dummy' account would be a re-direction account - 50% of trades to sim, 50% of trades to a real IB account.

The point of this would be to fool myself into not knowing whether I was trading live or not, helping me control my emotions and the difference between my sim account and my live trading. It's an experiment I'd like to try out, but am not quite sure how to go about doing it in NT (or TWS for that matter if easier?). I would still retain control in emergencies by being able to see the real live trades on the live account in TWS.

Any thoughts?

Thanks guys.

theGreek,

I am happy to assist you.

Unfortunately there is no supported way of doing this. It would require fairly complicated modification of NinjaTrader or would require an advanced strategy that could intercept trades and redirect them to separate strategies on the two accounts. It would be possible through purely automated trading, but this is not what you were asking for.

You could try asking our NinjaScript consultants and see if they could help you, please find a link below.
