Why does my Sim101 account have 0 buying power

[dviladvct8]

I'm trying to run a autotrader using simulation. I'm connected to My NinjerTrader Continuum and have a @sim license. But my sim101 account doesn't have any buying power. Tried resetting the simulation account and changing the DB, still has 0 buying power. The autotrader won't trade based on 0 buying power. Does anyone have any other ideas how I can get my sim101 account to work?
Thank you!

Hello dviladvct8,

Thank you for your post.

The Sim101 account (along with any other simulation accounts created in the platform) will always have a buying power of 0. This is not one of the values that populates when using the built-in simulation accounts. In fact, there are only a few providers that transmit this value (TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, and Forex.com). It is the 'Cash Value' that will display your balance for the Sim101 account. More information about the values displayed on the 'Accounts' tab may be found at the link below;
