when I login in to TWS and connect the TWS to multicharts

I want to specify an account for future trading via multicharts

How could I do that?

Hello dingmanhoe123,

Each chart has its own auto trading plugin settings.
Please go to Format->Strategy Properties->Auto trading tab->Select broker plugin->select the profile you need->go to Settings.
Specify the required account in the Default account field if you do not have a master account. If you have a master account or Financial Advisor account type – specify the account in the Single Account Allocation field under the Financial Advisor tab.

You need to do that for each chart you are using for auto trading. The settings will be saved if you save the workspace (File->Save workspace as).

Hi Henry,

does the above work also for linked accounts?
I have a main account and a linked one, the two have different account numbers.
If yes, which of the two options you explained above is correct for my case?

Thanks

Hello Leo,

Do you have the "F" master account?

Hello Leo,

Do you have the "F" master account?

Hi Henry,

I'm not sure what the F master account would be.

I've a Reg T Margin account and have opened a linked account to it. Both accojnts numbers starts with letter "U".

Hope it helps

Hello Leo,

In this case you should try specifying the required account in the Default account field as described above.
