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

Hi Wes,
Following this post I now have a 2nd ID Userid set up for my Live trading.

Effectively I have OV / TP and IB gateway set up on 3*screen PC monitor.
TWS (live) is on my laptop and all "link in".

I am still testing / learning on paper. But I want a paper (TWS) Userid for my laptop (realise there is a cost). However IB have advised that a paper Userid is not possible.

There is a lot of learning / remembering about all that OV / TP systems do - and I would feel more comfortable knowing my interpretations are correct before going into live trading

Kindly advise if and in your opinion this is correct i.e. that it is not possible to have a paper IB TWS user id

Many thanks,

KEITH PARSONS
