Strategy always trades on the Sim101 account

[zSucco]

Hello,

I have been looking left and right for the cause of the problem but I couldn't find anything related.

Basically I have a strategy I coded that works completely fine, buttons and logic work as intended, the only problem is that no matter wich account I have selected in the chart trader Account dropdown menu, it ALWAYS enters trades on the Sim101 account. I have tried using it on a funded account -> places trades on Sim101, tried creating another Sim account -> again, always places trades on Sim101.

I also tried:
- Checking if Start in global simulation mode is OFF
- Checked trace order logs: everything is correct, but it is done on Sim101.
- Tried loading the strategy after selecting the correct account on the dropdown menu of the chart trader
- Tried entering using the normal "Sell mkt" and "Buy mkt" buttons on the chart trader, and they work! (so I excluded a problem linked to the funded account itself)

Has this ever happened to someone else? Anybody know what the source of the problem might be?

Thanks

Hello,

The account the strategy trades to will be selected in the strategy's settings when enabling the strategy. When adding a strategy and setting up the parameters, change the 'account' option to the account you wish to place trades to.

Welcome to the forums!

How do you configure the parameters for your strategy?

What happens when you select a different account
when you first start the strategy?

When you see the property grid to enter your parameters,
you should see an Account dropdown selection under
the Setup section? Do you see that?

If you change that to something other than Sim101,
doesn't that work for you?

In your strategy's properties, near the bottom, there is a dropdwon to select the account the strategy will trade.

Hello everyone,

That was indeed the problem... dumb overlook by me changing the account under Setup when enabling the strategy solved it

Thank you for your support!
