ges,
icb should not connect to both... if for some
reason it does, things can get to be very confusing ... very fast

Subject: Re: [amibroker] IB Controller
and multiple IB accounts
Thanks Ara for the pointer.
I can see that both TWS IB
accounts that I have open have the port set to 7496 and the IB Controller is
set to 7496. But when I send an order from IBC, it just goes to the
first TWS that was opened.
I'll do some more experimenting and see if I
can figure it out.

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. ges

sure.

Re: [amibroker] IB Controller and multiple IB accounts
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?

you specify which account the trade is to go
to?
