- is this sim account (Sim101)? yes, your observation is correct, since the PnL is stored in the local DB
- is this a broker live account? This should not happen. What broker are you with?

Unfortunately switching computers is not supported since there is relevant data in your DB which is needed for proper PnL calcs.

What is NT's sugestion to use two PCs to manage the one account? If I go to work or home and use the PC there, I would still need to monitor positions and modify or place orders at times. How can we best acheive this?

Ok, no problem.

Here is a theory which I would like some feedback on if possible:

1. Enable Automatic Trading Interface in NT

2. Set up specific email account with free provider

3. Set my email program to check mail every minute

4. Set my email program to automatically forward any emails received on that account to NT using LOCALHOST (Tradestation email interface)

5. AT Strategy is triggered with parameters set in the email

Could this work?
