Delete DB and Create Sim accounts programmatically

[roblogic]

Hello,

Is there a way to do this automatically. It's pretty tedious to do it manually. If you have made many trades resetting the account is not an option as it takes forever so it's best to just delete de DB and create new Sim accounts. So is there a way one could make this process automatically for instance:

// OnBarUpdate()
if (CurrentBars[0] == 0)
{
// delete DB;
// Create Sim2,3,4...
}

Hello roblogic,

There is not a way to interact with the database or do resets from scripting. You would need to manually reset the account/create the account if you need to modify it.

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

Try AutoHotkey.

Thanks. May I request a future update including this feature, or at least a much faster way to reset SIM accounts?

A relatively straightforward way to quickly reset the db:

1. Shutdown NT
2. Rename/delete the current db file
3. Restart NT -- this will automatically create a new db file
4. Update the [now new] db with whatever changes you want so it is how you want it when "reset" -- this becomes your "reset to template" db
5. Copy the updated db file to wherever you wish [preferably not in the NT folder as a remove/reinstall of NT may lose it]
6. When required, with NT not running, rename/delete the old db file
7. Copy the saved "template" file to be the current db
8. Restart NT -- the copied template file is now the current db and everything will be as you set it in that file

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Thanks. This is the workaround I do. I just delete de DB. Then I have to recreate all SIM accounts manually which is a bit of a pain though...
