Multiple instances of TradeProcessor can be started. But it's not obvious to me how to access more than one IB account. At the moment, on an AWS instance, I have one TP connected to GXtrader, and I'm in the process of setting up a 2nd TP to connect to a newly created IB account. Assuming that I will find this to work well, I expect to be interested in setting up additional TP instances for additional IB accounts. The question I have is, how does IBG fit into this picture where I want to manage multiple IB accounts from a single AWS instance running multiple TPs? IBG is logged into my (currently only) IB account. So, that is clear. But what happens when I have a 2nd (and 3rd, etc) IB account. How is IBG configured for that? Is there an IBG per TP? Or is one IBG used to access multiple accounts? Not at all obvious how that is accomplished. [Addendum] Perhaps the answer is to use a "Family Office Account" login, which has access to all the accounts in the "Family Office Account", to connect IBG to IB. Is that how it works? [End Addendum] Thanks for any insights. [Edited by SteveL on 7/19/2014 5:02 PM] | |
