Account code in Initialize area

[traderjh]

Hello,

I need to be able to specify account name in the code rather than going into parameter and set specific account up. Like "Account = Sim101;" in the initialize part. Is it possible?

Thanks,

traderjh, you could unfortunately not hardcode in an account - however as further safeguard you could return for exampe out of OnBarUpdate() if the account selected did not match a specific one -

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

Great.

Is it possible for NT7 to be linked to multiple accounts? If so, is there a special way to code to work with accounts?

Thanks again,

Generally NT7 could create so called Account Groups, however you could not run NinjaScript's on those unfortunately.
