Auto Trade which Account?

[blinker]

I added a strategy (a strategy that creates an ATM Strat) to a chart and had a Static DOM opened. The static DOM initially opened using the Sim account - I switched it to my live account.

My strategy took a trade, but it did not appear in my DOM. I noticed my Control Center said I was in a trade in my Sim account, even though my DOM is set to the Live account. The DOM has the proper ATM strat showing for my AutoTrade strat. How does the strategy on the chart decide which account to use to trade on?

I am using NT 6.5 beta9.

Thanks!

You have to set the account in the strategy parms when you add it to the chart.

It will default to sim101.

I see. In my strat, this setting is disabled. How I do enable it?

Thanks!

It will be enabled as you start the strategy.

OK, thanks! I didn't realize it was only enabled at the beginning only.

Thanks!
