8.1 and Sim Account

[Trader17]

Hello. I am using 8.1 on a VPS and I log in to Live Trading. I do not see a SIM 101 account in accounts tabs or when I add a strategy to a chart. Why is that? Never saw that in 8.0 version.
Thanks.

Hello, thanks for writing in. I suspect you need to enable Multi Provider under Tools>Options>General. This will make the local Sim101 account available. This is also likely the answer to your other question here:

To set up your NinjaTrader account when multi provider is enabled, go to Connections, and set up a "NinjaTrader" connection, using the same username and password you use to log into the client portal here:

Thanks NinjaTrader_ChrisL I was going to check off multi broker but are you sure as you said above you suspect it to be issue. Can you confirm with developers? Because I did not enable as it said it will slow NT8 even further. It cannot handle fast NQ and MNQ markets as is.
Thanks.

Hi, this setting should not cause any performance issue. You are not seeing the Sim101 account because it is disabled with Multi Provider mode off.

Thanks NinjaTrader_ChrisL That message popped up as I was about to click it. Let me try it that way and see if I see a SIM account. Also the account portal is acting weird. I log in and right away it shows me as logged in and next second logs me out. Works well on phone browser. Not on desktop.
Thanks.
