Strategy for SIM Only Trades

[mlarocco]

HI,
I am wondering if there is a way to have a strategy only place SIM trades. I want to block it from taking trades on a live account.

as always, thanks!

Hello Mlarocco,

Thank you for your note.

When you apply the strategy to the chart you have the option to set which Account this will submit orders to. Once the strategy is enabled you cannot change this until you have disabled the strategy.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I understand that, I was wondering if it could be forced to only use the SIM101 account. I'm trying to prevent it from being used to trade live accounts. I want it for testing only.

Thanks

Mlarocco,

You can check the Account.Name if it equal to Sim101 or not

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
      if(Account.Name != "Sim101") return;
}

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for...

Thanks!
