Change the account in real time

[soyjesus]

I am creating a strategy and I need it to be able to choose the account it trades on. Can I change the account in real time, within the code of a strategy?

Hello soyjesus,

Thanks for your post.

You could subscribe to the Account class to add an account to your script. Then, you could use the <Account>.CreateOrder() to create the order you want to place on the account and <Account>.Submit() to submit that order to the account.

You could subscribe to multiple accounts in the script and specify which account you want to create orders for and submit orders to when calling the methods mentioned above.

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.
