Thanks Ara,
No, it does not seem to connect to both and that is good. As far as I can tell, it connects to the first TWS that is loaded.
But is there some other way to control which TWS the AB trades are routed to?

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

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. ges

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

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?
