Hello,

Resetting a simulation account will clear all historical trade data from this account.

Please follow the instructions below to reset a simulation account.

• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the Accounts tab
• Right click on your simulation account and select 'Edit Account'
• Press the "Reset" button

Please let me know if you require any additional assistance.

I'm using NT 8.0.28. When not connected to Market Replay, there is no replay account in the accounts tab to edit. When I am connected it is there but there's no way to edit it. The menu item on the context menu is disabled. Is it the same in 8.1? I would like to set an initial account balance for the replay account to something other than the default $100,000.

Hello Brillo,

Thank you very much for your post.

The Playback101 account cannot be modified directly and resets automatically when a new playback connection is established.

However, the settings it uses upon the reset are copied from the Sim101 account directly. This means to limit the funds, you could follow the steps below:

• Disconnect from the playback connection
• Right-click the Sim101 account and "Edit Account"
• Change the Initial cash e.g. to 20000
  • You do not have to 'reset' the Sim101 account and can simply save it. By not resetting it, the Sim101 account's initial cash value would not change
• Reconnect to the playback connection

The Playback101 account is now created with a cash value of $20,000 instead.

Please let us know if you have any further questions in this regard!
