Re: [amibroker] IB Controller and multiple IB accounts

IB and ibc both have a parameter to control which TWS you connect to. You can only connect to one TWS. This is done by selecting a port number. Look in TWS configuration section and API area. ibc is easier to find the parameter, but don't remember exactly where it is.
 
I beleive you can use that one connection to send orders to multiple IB accounts in the same way that you would if you were using TWS to place your orders.
 
I have not used multiple accounts, but ibc can communicate with ONE TWS and you can do whatever you can normally do from TWS.

Thanks Ed,

The second computer is a possibility, but I'd rather work off of one computer if possible.

I believe you need a "professional account" at IB but I am not sure.  A second computer works for sure.

OK, I opened 2 IB accounts (2 TWS) and sent an order from IB Controller and it went to the account that was opened first.

Is that the only option?  Or is there a way to control which account receives the order from Amibroker?

I usually have 2 or 3 IB accounts open. With IB Controller, how do
you specify which account the trade is to go to?
