"AccountSelector" Functionality w RRSP, TFSA, etc...

[Blairski]

NinjaSupport,

Is it possible to use the "AccountSelector" functionality in NinjaTrader to create input parameters for strategy including LIRA, RRSP, TFSA, Cash? In Canada we have lots of registered retirement accounts available to us and I would like to be able to select which InteractiveBrokers Account to use for each strategy and instrument.

If possible to provide a script example with 2+ accounts that would be great.

If there is another more efficient way to allocate various accounts from same brokerage please advise. As of now I'm not sure how I will do this :/

Much Appreciated

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

Unfortunately, a Strategy by nature cannot have more than 1 account selected so this by nature would not be possible. If you are able to see your accounts in the existing account dropdown they should be able to be used, otherwise, if they are not being listed they would not be able to be used with the strategy.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

NinjaSupport,

I do not own a full license of NinjaTrader just yet. I'm just testing and preparing myself for an account. In this, I did not know NinjaTrader has account drop-down for multiple account numbers with a broker.

Could you please tell me how I would incorporate or allocate an account to a strategy? For example, if I have a RRSP and Cash account how would I select which account to use for a strategy.

Much appreciated

Hello,

If the account is provided by a broker to NinjaTrader and you have a Live license and Global simulation mode off, you should see those accounts listed in any account selector where you can select an account.

A Strategy will have an account selector when you configure the strategy, also any order entry tool will have an account selector. I would suggest reviewing the following document which explains the common strategy properties you will see when applying a strategy: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t_strategy.htm

All tools in the platform will only manage one account at a time, so if you have multiple accounts provided by the same broker you would only be able to select one account per tool used.

If you are using the Simulation license currently, the accounts would be listed where you see "Sim101" listed. Unfortunately, I couldn't say what accounts may show up, this would be broker dependent so this would be something to discuss with the broker being used.



I look forward to being of further assistance.
