Subject : RE: Use a 2nd IB Userid to trade/monitor your acct

Keith: If I understand your message correctly, you have 1 IB account? If so, I assume you desire to to access that single account from 2 different PCs.

If so, all you need to do is download the 'correct' IB software, and TP, to your new target, or "second PC" and log in to IB as you did on your "main computer". Note you can only login to IB from one IB Gateway or TWS client or IB web page at a time.

If you trying to open a net new/ additional IB account, the process as I remember is: During the process, IB will send you an email, which has the 'token' number in the email. This number is entered into a field on the web page I believe you are looking at in your message. The email is the account you used when opening the account. And if you are opening another IB account, note you can only run one TP application at a time on your PC.
