TWS Chart Trader and Multiple accounts: Set a default?

Bad_Badness

When I generate an order on Chart trader, the Account field always needs to be set.

Is there a way to set a default?

Things I tried:

Using the Quote Monitor to set the default account: Works for order generated from the monitor only.

Set the group setting for the charts and the quote monitor to the same group: No difference.

Searched the Presets for the instrument
Searched the Order settings.
Searched the Charter Trader settings.
Searched the Chart Parameter settings.

Setting the account each time defeats the purpose of having a fast entry via hot key.

Any solution are most welcome.

Thanks!
 
Have you tried to add a portfolio window, showing the portfolio of the account you wish to use? And then add that window to the group which includes the order window?
I recall that in my case TWS does not ask for a confirmation of the account number. But I don't use TWS often (in fact, almost never), so it could be that newer TWS versions behave differently.
 
Thanks for the reply. After I posted I tried that. Grouping portfolio-quote monitor layout pages together with a chart window, does NOT result in the chart order defaulting to the group linked portfolio page's default account.

I think because one can have multiple quote monitor pages, each with potentially different default account, the code would have to take into account, so too complex to do. Integration of tools has never been TWS strong suit.
