BlackBird Account Node:

This account node has the option to trade either the SharkSignals » Trade Plan » Bracket(s), or the BlackBird » Order Set(s). This option is changed in the right side panel via the Manage Trade Using option.


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 or account node » Overrides » Symbol.
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.
