Hi Folls,
You don't need to program which account the strategy will run on. When you load try to startup the strategy in the "New Strategy" dialog window there is a section called "General" and in that section there is an option called "Account". You can select your account from there.

I'm connected to IB in the Control Center but when I try to select the IB account in the Strategy Properties window I see just Sim101 grayed out and can't select anything else. IB is providing data to the chart so I know that the connection is there in that regard.

Global simulation was not checked. I find that if I uninstall and reinstall the strategy to the chart I have the account choice but not after that. That is not a big thing really, it could be by design...
Currently I finally got past the initial confusion enough to have a strategy running but I cannot get the ATM strategy to fire off after the strategy takes a position... I'm rereading the help sections but not finding a good reason about that yet. |

Could you provide me steps on how to reproduce? If you are using a license that allows live trading, any account selection control should not be grayed out.
Thanks in advance.

If I could provide steps I could probably figure it out!! I've been playing with NT all day, if I can restart the whole program and get the grayout to occur I will do so...

I restarted NT completely, connected to IB [sim account], put the strategy into the chart and initially I could select the account but after that it is grayed out... the strategy is very simple, it enters at the open tick of the bar...

Thanks, I was not doing anything important today, just playing with the idea of semiautomating some of my trading activities... If I can get the ATM to fire off after a strategy entry it will be good...
