Specify account in code

[Adamdetx]

Is there a way to specify which account a strategy trades off of in the code?

Also if you choose to set DataSeriesConfigurable = false; is there a way to set the default data series?

Thanks
Adam.

Hi Adam, unfortunately not directly, but you can look into using Account.Name for example in OnBarUpdate() to ensure the strategy is run on a specific account only.

Setting the series and type to use would not be offically supported at this time, but you can try setting those in Initialize() : example shows a 5 min chart used...

BarsPeriod.Id = PeriodType.Minute;
BarsPeriod.Value = 5;

How do I use the Account.Name

First off thank you Bertrand, this is very helpful.
Then with the "Account.Name" is it possible in the OnBarUpdate() to so something like if Account.Name != Sim101
Return
?

And if it is possible, could you be so kind as to show how that would be coded?
Again, thank you very much.

Adam.

You have it correct - it would be:

				if(Account.Name != "Sim101")
					return;

This will prevent the strategy from running on any account that is not named Sim101.
