Launch sub account strategy in ninjascript

June 10th, 2015, 01:03 PM

Hello everyone,
I have this issue where my orders are colliding each other (I need to separate my long entry so it won't be used as an exit for my short but as a new entry), therefore I was thinking to use sub accounts.
I was wondering if anyone could help me understand how can I launch a strategy under a sub account.
I have this ninjascript code where you can see that I launch my strategy under my existing account, but I need to enter the sub account information.

MyStrategy childStrategy= new MyStrategy ();
childStrategy.Account = Account;
Period minutePeriod = new Period(PeriodType.Minute,1,MarketDataType.Last);
childStrategy.SetBarsPeriodInstrument(minutePeriod,Position.Instrument);
Strategies.Add(childStrategy);
if (!childStrategy.Enabled)
{
childStrategy.Enabled = true;
}

the line marked in red is the line where i want to replace - instead of using "Account" object i want to use something like "Sub Account".

Thanks!

Being long and short at the same time is virtually the same as being flat. I don't understand what you are trying to do. If you are trading calendar spreads, then you should set the proper instrument. Wanting to go long and short the same instrument is utterly useless and a waste a time. It is no different than going flat.
