BlackBird Account Node:

This account node has the option to place either the SharkSignals » Trade Plan » Bracket, or the BlackBird » Order Set. This option is changed in the right side panel.
BlackBird is specific to NinjaTrader. You must own a license for BlackBird in order to use the BlackBird account node. The BlackBird account node forwards signals to all BlackBirds running on the instrument that matches the signal.
Tip: The BlackBird » Auto Trading button must be On for SharkSignals trades to execute.

Non-BlackBird Account Node:

These account nodes utilize the NinjaTrader ATM to manage trades. For other brokers the orders will be managed via the broker’s API.
