Switching from Sim to Live Account in a New Instance

Currently trading with 1st instance permanently on a Live account and placing orders on Sub Instances toggling between Sim and Live. When switching Sim to Live this eliminates delay due to logging account onto broker. Switching the Sub Instance from Live to Sim automatically picks up the Sim Account number in Trade Window and on every chart in that Sub Instance. However switching the Sub Instance from Sim to Live does not change the account number in Trade Window on the Sub Instance, so of course the order is not relayed to the broker. The live account has to be manually set in Trade Window on the Sub Instance each time the Sim / Live switch is made. This is an issue because each Sub Instance has multiple charts and I need to see open positions on each chart. Only one of the charts has a Trade Window permanently open so for the other charts I am opening a Trade Window/changing account number/closing Trade window each time the switch from Sim to Live is made. Hopefully you understand my situation from the above description. I could handle the situation in ACSIL if sc.SelectedTradeAccount was made read/write rather than read only. Do you see another way round the problem? Please advise SCv 1439 Broker TransAct |

Consider using Trade Window linking to make this easier: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartSettings.html#LinkNumber We will see if we can support changing this ACSIL variable in the next release: sc.SelectedTradeAccount Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Regularly use Chart Linking for symbols, had not realised it could also be used for Trade Window. All charts now change account from 1 Trade Window manually at the same time as switching to Live on the platform. Many thanks for your most helpful advice. My aim is to automate as many actions as possible so it would be really great if you are able to make sc.SelectedTradeAccount read/write on a future release. |

Everything resolved from my perspective on this thread. The speed and efficiency with which Sierra address items such as this, in my opinion based on 16 years trading experience, puts you second to none. A couple of points for the benefit of others: 1) sc.SelectedTradeAccount is now read / write, the online manual still has it as read only 2) Upgraded to v 1442 and could no longer access a sub instance ("access denied" in Message Log) on a broker supplied platform. Switched to a subscribed platform and sub instances opened OK. Contacted TransAct Customer Service and they were not aware of this change in access for their SC platform. |
