Subject : RE: Second IB Account
Posted : 5/10/2016 7:37 PM
Post #35875 - In reply to #31184

I have two real IB accounts and the one offered paper account.



In my AWS instance, I currently have ONE IBGateway paired with ONE TP trading into an IB paper account with my primary user logon. IB allows only one user to log into the paper account. Period.

Now I want to set up AWS for my two linked real accounts. I will be using my "first and primary" logon to access the two accounts from my desktop via the web for monitoring, etc.

Now this is where it gets confusing to me: Is it correct that to access real money account "A" via an IBGateway in the AWS instance I have to set up a "second user", and to access real money account "B" via an IBGateway in the AWS instance I have to set up a "third user"?

Hope this makes sense . . .

The fragility of all of these moving parts makes me feel far removed from the KISS principle. I'm feeling less simple, and more stupid. And hope nothing breaks.
