Multicharts and Interactive Brokers

[Xiao si 10]

Please help. I am using MC with IB and during my first day of live systematic trading my strategy is executing trades against my markets but it is using the wrong account, even though i have my futures account specified under broker profiles. Because i do not have futures permission for my stock trading account, the orders are being declined.

 

Tams, if you are there...i need some support and the MC guys won't be around for hours and hours!!

 

Please PM me or respond so you can please help me!

Never mind, found out that you need to specify the exact account on each chart!

For those that use MultiCharts, how do you report your actual trade performance.

 

NinjaTrader is quite handy this way with good record keeping and report selection to help sort through the week's performance.

 

TWS is useless:wtf:....what do you all use?

 

I'm currently using excel for the basic P/L and win rate. Really interested in some thing better though.

MSA has a lot more functionality than just record keeping. It can be used to improbe profitability.
