Setting Trading Account

Hi SC,
I recently ran into trouble while i was using multiple trading accounts to trade separate exchanges. The ACSIL custom trading study sent orders from a different trading account than the one registered for the specific exchange causing a temporary delay in deployment.

1) I was wondering if it'd be possible to have an ACSIL function that could set the trade account for the specific custom trading study so that the programmer can set the trading account as per the product/exchange he will deploy the study on.

(I am aware of setting the trading account for the chart from the trade window but writing another line of code to set a trading account would be more thorough, but again if its an easy functionality for you to add)

Thanks in Advance!

Thank you, but it seems too cumbersome to change my order actions to implement this. What I was looking for is a small variable that could set the trading account for any orders generated by a particular custom trading study. ( I would include this variable set to the respective trading account, in my source code to be used for the specific product i would deploy the code on)

What would be the syntax for passing the trade account to this variable?
