We purposefully made this change in NinjaTrader 8 because the platform-side controls were clunky and could not manage orders as fully as we would have liked. Please speak with your broker(s) about the possibility of grouping your accounts on their backend. Your broker has much more sophisticated account management abilities than NinjaTrader could have.
Santi , it seems like you're asking for something that could be accomplished via a custom NinjaScript strategy.

Does this mean that account groups functionality is not in active development for NT8?
Does NinjaTrader Brokerage (Dorman / Phillip) have much more sophisticated account management abilities than NinjaTrader could have?
If account groups functionality can be accomplished with a custom NinjaScript strategy (not coded by NT development staff), with clunky platform-side control and order management deficiencies overcome thereby, why is it a problem for NT8 development staff to accomplish the same or better as a NT8 platform feature?

So... I think about the possibility of an AddOn reading the input signal of the strategies, and launch the orders from the AddOn to each account, with it´s own different contract numbers. I should launch stops a profit targets from the AddOn too.
Do you think it should be possible to do this?
Any help or advise would be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello Santi,
This would certainly possible through the context of an AddOn.
Strategies are limited to be applied to one account, but you could develop an AddOn that trades against multiple accounts. You could consider using some user inputs to control which accounts should be used, and then you can find those accounts with:
Code:lock (Account.All) myAccount = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == "Sim101");
The AddOn Framework exmaple will provide a working example for all AddOn components.

Definitely need this feature back.
Is there no other way to copy trades to another NT8 or 7 account?

Hello TrendFollowingCapital,
Thank you for your post.
I've recorded votes for you to bring the Financial Advisor/Account groups back. The only way currently to achieve this effect is currently outlined in Jim's post above:
