Viewing Information - "Current Account"
When trading multiple accounts from the same
window, you will one account per row displayed in the Account Information
window:
The "Current Account" will be displayed with bold
text. Account 136 above is set as the Current Account. This means
that the "Open Positions" window will display open positions for account 136.

and select "Set Current":
Placing Trades - Highlighted Account
When placing a trade, the New Order will default
to whichever account is highlighted with a lighter background color. This
is achieved simply by clicking on the account row you wish to place a trade for,
or by using the Ctrl-click to select multiple accounts. In the following
example, a trade will be placed for account 135, and will have a default amount
of 1 lot:
In the next example below, the next trade will be
placed for accounts 135, 136, and 137:
This trade will have a default amount of 4 lots (1
lot for account 135 plus 2 lots for account 136 plus 1 lot for account 137).
When the order is filled, the 4 lots will automatically be allocated among the 3
accounts as per the DA numbers (i.e., 1 lot for account 135, 2 lots for account
136, 1 lot for account 137).
However, the Open Positions window will only
display the position for the account that is set Current (137 in the above
example).
