I trade a number of systems in a single IB account, and would like to have the system name that generated a particular order entered into IB as the OrderReference ID field. This is easy to do when I enter orders directly through TWS. Is there a way to automatically send my system name as part of the OrderReference ID string recorded at IB?
If this is not easy to do via MCt, I'd appreciate any recommendations on how I could transmit and store a system id / name along with each order to allow subsequent analysis grouped by system.
Thanks for your assistance.

Hello dwitkin,
Unfortunately at the moment it is not possible to do this in MultiCharts. As a workaround you could print anything to a file from the code, but i cannot give you any recommendation on how to read it from the file in TWS.
