I have dozens of charts that I monitor and trade from and I restart daily so having to manually reset these is very tedious and inconvenient. Is there any way to "force" NT to always without exception to start in the trading account rather than sim? Or is this something that I have to somehow learn to live with?

Stop Sim mode chart default
I have disabled "Always start in simulation" in options misc settings yet every time I restart NT the chart trader defaults to simulated account rather than my trading account.

Hello ShruggedAtlas,
You will need to disable the connect on startup feature for your connections
You can do this by going to Tools > Account Connections, selecting the connection and clicking Change
Then in the connection wizard clicking Next, unchecking the box 'Connect on startup' and clicking Next > Next > Finish
Now when you launch NinjaTrader and connect, accounts will load in alphabetical order
NinjaTrader will require two steps to have the live account.
Either launch NinjaTrader and select the account or launch NinjaTrader and manually connect by going to File > Connect and selecting the connection*Christopher S.NinjaTrader Customer Service

I have no trouble connecting to accounts. I'm talking about the chart trader feature. See the image showing chart trader defaults at startup to Sim101. I can access my other account simply by clicking the dropdown. My goal is to not have chart trader default to Sim101. With dozens of charts open it's very tedious to have to manually change these to my account every day.
In account connections the account that I want to load automatically already shows "connect at startup" however I am not able to change or delete any of the others including the simulated data feed.

Hello ShruggedAtlas
You will not need to delete the preloaded connection
You will just need to disable the connect on start up feature for the connection you use. You have titled the connection FXCM
Then when you launch NinjaTrader and connect to your account, accounts will load in alphabetical orderChristopher S.NinjaTrader Customer Service

Ok it seems like we're almost there! I did what you said and of course nothing connects until I manually choose the FXCM account and then all the charts load with the correct connection. Great!
However, does this mean it's impossible to have the account load automatically without having to go into my account connections and manually connecting? I thought that was the whole point of having the "Connect at Startup" option in account connection settings.

Yes, thank you, I already know that.
I guess i would leave you with this request...
In future versions of NT it would be nice to have an option to "Connect at Startup" in a way that saves the user from having to manually connect every time NT is booted up AND not have the chart trader default to Sim101.
It seems that it's one way or another.
