Trade multiple accounts simultaneously

[fredrikn]

I have been asked to trade someone else's account simultaneously with mine, i.e. when I place a trade in Ninjatrader8 (OCO) or single order, the exact same order and subsequently trade should be placed in two or more accounts simultaneously. If there would be an option to set a relative size difference, so that if I place an order for two contracts in my account, it is possible to pre-set so that the second account automatically places a multiple thereof, that would be a bonus.
With other brokers, this is referred to as a PAMM account but as far as I have been able to find out, it appears this is not supported by Ninja, hence the question whether the API might help or if there is some other solution that someone might be using. Any help greatly appreciated!

Hello fredrikn,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forum.

That is correct. Account groups are no longer supported in NinjaTrader 8, but we are tracking demand for this through a feature request. I went ahead and added a vote on your behalf. The internal tracking number for this feature request is SFT-889. Please reference this internal tracking number if you ever have questions regarding this feature request.

When a feature request is implemented, you'll find it in the release notes: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ease_notes.htm

In the meantime, this could be accomplished with NinjaScript by submitting orders directly to the specific accounts. Please see the following link for more information on CreateOrder() inside the Account class: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...reateorder.htm

Thank you very much Josh for your swift reply.

Is there any way to find out how quickly SFT-889 might be delivered?

There is also another request already in the system I believe, which is relating to the possibility to create quarterly charts, it would be very useful to see what features are in the system and some form of prioritization or planned release date for them (if one has been assigned)

Thank you again for your help!

fredrikn,

There are many factors involved when implementing feature requests including but not limited to:

• Demand which is measured by objective user requests and subjective discretion on the part of our Product Management team
• Feasibility
• Developer bandwidth
• Current projects in the queue
• Economics

When any change is made to the platform, you'll find it noted in the release notes, however, we do not have a schedule of when or if any particular feature will be implemented. We are also tracking demand for some form of publicly available feature request tracking. The tracking ID for that request is SFT-1355. I have added your vote to that as well.

Please let me know how I can be of further assistance.

Hello Josh,

Would you be so kind to add my votes to tracking numbers SFT-889 & SFT-1355?

HI all, just checking in to see fi there is any update on this or any other way to copy my trades to my other accounts

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

The feature requests discussed in this thread have not yet been implemented. There are no alternatives other than the custom NinjaScript programming that my colleague Josh suggests in an earlier post.

[EnsoTrader]

One more vote to reimplement multiple account orders, with percentage allocations.

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

To clarify:

• SFT-889 - Re-implement support for Account Groups
• SFT-1355 - Provide publicly open feature request tracking

I've added your vote to SFT-889.
