MT Framework Strategy Live Account Trading

Originally from ticket #3161.

Hello,
I purchased a monthly lease.  I already have MT strategies installed.  What do I need to do to use these strategies on real markets?

Thanks Mike

Hi Mike

Thank you for your custom and support of the MicroTrends NinjaTrader Framework
your license is now allocated.

Sorry for the delay i am currently in the Manila timezone. You are now on my priority list.

To trade a live account you would need to:
1. Have a licensed copy of NT to allow live trading
2. Be connected to a live trading account with realtime datafeed
3. In NT Control Center > File > Global Simulation Mode > Clear/Unchecked
4. Open a NT Chart > add the strategy you want to trade with and select your desired trading account in the General parameters> Account > LiveAccount ( this set by default to Sim101)
5. Set Enabled = True > click Ok
This will enable the strategy against that account.

Historical and Realtime Trades
If the strategy starts and has a historical trade still open the strategy tools and MT Easy Trader UI will be disabled until the trade is exited.

For this reason for live realtime trading -It is advisable to start the Strategy in realtime mode only so that you do not confuse historical trades with realtime and so that the strategy is in a live ready to trade state when enabled. you can pause trading long/short/all at the top of the MT Easy Trader - Trade UI that will pop up on the right of the chart.

General Parameters > MT - Trading Mode = Realtime
