eSignal OnDemand and Enabled Strategy

[scottyheist]

This might be a bit of a daft question, but if I enable a strategy, NT won't actually buy real shares through eSignal will it? (image attached)

I pay for data through eSignal OnDemand to access an ASX data feed.

I just want to enable the strategies so it tells me when to put the orders through an external broker that I used (NABTrade).

Thanks!

Hello scottyheist,

Thank you for your post.

You are correct, the trades are placed to the SIM101 account in NinjaTrader. Which is a simulation account within your installation of NinjaTrader. For information on the simulation account please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...01_account.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thanks Patrick. Given that the trades are only going to a simulation account, is there any reason why I can't load NinjaTrader with all strategies enabled? Having to enable ten (and clicking on the prompt) every time gets a bit annoying. I understand why this is so (to avoid wild strategies being left) on but it's only a simulation...

Hello scottyheist,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, no. However, you can left click on the top strategy in the list --> hold down CTRL on your keyboard --> left click on the bottom strategy in the list --> release CTRL and select enable on any of the strategies, this should enable all at once.

Ah! That's really easy. I was trying to do Ctrl+A...

Thanks
