Post From: SC/IBKR secondary account interface bug

You need to use another installation of Sierra Chart, one for each account, and set this Data/Trade Service Setting to the account that you want to use:
Account Index for Subscribe to Positions (zero-based)

Thank you for the tip. I do use multiple installations of SC already. Multiple installations = the headache of keeping my customizations up-to-date. Any tips for keeping on top of this?

Given that each customization usually represents at least half an hour of work, the customizations represent an enormous effort I want to save at all costs.

My first attempt was to replace the data folder in my "dumb" Ironbeam system with that of my "smart" IBKR system where I do most of my development.

It ain't that simple. The charts came through with the wrong symbols of course and "Edit >> Translate Symbols" only worked for one symbol. Do I have to change all the symbols manually using "Chart >> Chart Settings"?

The other thing is that the customizations are not confined to the data folder. It looks like I need to copy Sierra4.config, Keyboardshortcuts and Defaultstudysettings from "smart" system but keep Accounts4.config,
and the Trade data from "dumb" system.

Is this correct?

Thanks for your help.
