Hello thaison316,

Thank you for writing in.

I understand that you would like to submit an order using an ATM Strategy to one account and have the same order submitted on a second account.

Account-level OrderUpdate events could be used to pick up orders from one account and submit orders to another account. To accomplish this, you would need to create a script that subscribes to account-level OrderUpdate events to monitor orders sent to the first account. Then, in OnOrderUpdate you could check if an order is filled and if the order is long or short. If the order IsLong, then you could use CreateOrder() to create a buy order and use StartAtmStrategy. Submit() to submit the order to the second account. If the order IsShort, you could use CreateOrder() to create a sell order and use Submit() to submit the order to the second account.

Please see the attached example script that demonstrates how this is accomplished.

Also, please see the following help guides linked below for more information.

The CheckATMOrderAcc1SubmitOrderAcc2 file results in the second account being sold or bought twice instead of once. Also is there a way to ensure that the price of both accounts' executions be the same on entry, because the second account is getting a one tick delay.

Hello Peace2Keep,

Thanks for your note.

I do not see the same behavior you are reporting when running the script attached in post #2. When a trade is placed on the first account, the same order quantity is placed on the second account.

See the demonstration video I have made showing this: https://brandonh-ninjatrader.tinytak...Nl8xOTM5MjQ5NQ

Something you could consider is modifying the CreateOrder() methods in the script to use "e.Order.Quantity" instead of a quantity of 1. By doing this, the total order quantity placed would be used to place an order on the second account instead of a quantity of "1".

Also, there would not be a workaround for the slight delay between order submissions on the second account.
