Signals send to Collective2 -- weird

[cassb]

From your NinjaTrader help page at: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...gToCollective2

• A single market order is submitted for the full order quantity amount (even if it was only part filled)

What's up with that? So if I have two strategies running to C2, and one places orders for 2 contracts and the other places orders for 4 contracts, I can't use Collective2 for fear of partial order fills? Yes, I know about this:

QuantityMultiplier (Optional)
A factor that will be multiplied by the order quantity to derive the quantity of the market order submitted to C2. For example: If you are trading 10 lots in your account and you specify a value of "0.5", the C2 order will be submitted at a quantity of 5. If the result is an uneven number, NinjaTrader will round up to the nearest whole number.


But that doesn't help me if I have more than one strategy using that account group and they both submit orders for different lot amounts.

You could try more than one account/account group.

OK, but how do you direct a strategy to use a particular account group?

By it's (sim) account

By it's (sim) account

You'd have to walk me through that. I only have one Sim101 account and don't know how/if I can make more of them.

And besides -- I want to place 2 or 4 contract orders in NT anyway. I don't want to place 1 contract orders with a multiplier.

Sorry, then there are no further options available.

Sim accounts could created at Tools->Options->Simulator->Accounts

Well there is another option, and that is to reprogram my strategy to loop and submit multiple 1-contract orders instead of 1 order with multiple contracts. But I don't know how my broker would handle this.
