That did occur to me. In my case, though, I've been using it for only a month.

I think it is just a natural bias against giving any encouragement to paper v$ real money ;)

It seems from this thread that one AWS will support two instances of TP-IBG-IB account. Does anyone know whether one AWS will work with more than two instances? I have an IB Friends and Family Advisor account with five sub-accounts (personal plus IRA and Roth for myself and wife) and would prefer to trade through the master account, but understand that the TP will not work with the master account. Therefore, I am wondering whether trading through each separate account with its own TP and IBG is feasible? I realize that the AWS might have to be sized appropriately. Thank you.

Howard,

I'm currently running two instances of TP-IBG-IB account on a AWS micro EC2 (1GB RAM and 30GB storage). The RAM is at 90% utilization. So, that might be the limitation. I haven't yet run more instances, but everything I understand about how this works and have configured convinces me that there won't be any problem running more instances on a suitably sized AWS instance. The limitation will be the RAM, which could be solved by going to a bigger AWS instance.

5 will work. May be slow screen refresh, but no problem submitting orders. My understanding is Nirvana is enabling IB to be run from the OV web Trade Processor in the near future, so should be a moot point soon?

We can only delete them if the symbols are no longer valid. You will have to wait until OmniVest issues closing orders for those positions.

There are a couple ways to handle this situation if you really want to free up buying power though. You can reset your account to start trading again the next trading day, but this will wipe out anything recorded on your Trades page so far. Or you could manually (temporarily) increase your OmniVest buying power percentage. This would add more buying power to your OV account. Then when those trades do close in OmniVest you reduce your buying power percentage back to what it was.
