Switch Trading Account Globally

Hello,

I am currently trading two accounts with the same provider and am looking for a way to switch between the accounts.

The only way I found to switch the accounts is via "Attach Trade Window to Chart" and change the account there (Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Trade Account (Selecting Trade Account for Chart / Trade DOM)). However, that also requires going into every single chart window and chartbook to change the account.

I had a look at the "Global Settings" but could not find an option to switch between the accounts here.

Is there somewhere an option available where the trader can switch between two accounts globally instead of going into every single chart window?

Thank you.

You can do this by using the Linking option and setting the Trade Window to be linked. Refer to the information at the following link:

Thanks for your quick reply.

That is a first solution that solves the problem within one chartbook.

Nevertheless, it would still require going through all additional chartbooks and changing the account in one of the chart windows if I get the manual correct.

Yes this is true, chart linking is only within a Chartbook.
