connect multiple to computers same IB account?

M

MrPaul

Has anyone experienced complications with using two computers (say a laptop and a desktop) to connect to the same IB account? (Using one machine for charts and one for order entry) I attempted it and one screen kept turning neon purple. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance...:)
 
you can open up to 3 accounts on each computer.

each account can only opened once at a time.

if you need datafeed, open the papertrade account on the 2nd computer.
 
Wait, isn't the demo user account delayed by 15 or 20 minutes? Wouldn't do much good for intraday trading.

I assume then that by "paper trading account," you mean one that is funded but that you won't trade live with. But then, why not just sign up with a real data provider and get the additonal features of backfills, etc.?

just click on the link I posted, which explains the IB paper trading account. This is different from the "Live TWS demo".

You can connect to only one logon at a time, but you can have multiple logons per account. Each logon has its own data charges.
