It is important to understand that in MultiCharts data feed and broker connections are separate types of connection.
<categorytree mode=pages showcount="on" depth=2>Broker Profiles</categorytree>
Unlike a simple broker connection, Broker Profiles is a convenient way to configure the connection to different brokers and accounts.
All information about broker plug-in configuration is stored in a corresponding Broker Profile.
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">Example: If the chart has data from Interactive Brokers, IB automated trading plug-in is selected by default for this chart. Connection settings are the same as in the corresponding Broker Profile (except for Default Account settings for [[FXCM Broker Profile]]).</div>
If the instrument on the chart is provided by a data vendor that is not a broker, then the default plug-in for automated trading will be the same as the first existing Broker Profile on the Trade Bar.
==Managing Broker Profiles==
By default one can see only 3 Broker Profiles after the installation of MultiCharts: Interactive Brokers, OANDA and Rithmic 01 and Zen-Fire.
To manage Broker Profiles:
Broker Profile settings can also be configured by right-clicking the Broker Profile tab on '''Trade Bar''' (see [[Trade Bar]]), and clicking '''Edit Broker Profile'''.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: It is possible to review or edit Broker Profile settings while it is the profile is connected only using the '''Manage Broker Profiles…''' option.</div>
To rename a Broker Profile, select the profile and click the '''Rename''' button on the right side of the '''Broker Profiles''' window.
Click the '''SA/AA''' button http://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/symbolmapping/6.png / in the left top corner of the chart to connect the Broker Profile corresponding to auto trading plug-in that is selected for the chart start and auto trading.
====Sound Alerts====
Enable/disable sound alerts on Broker Profile connection, order generation and execution by one of the following methods:
* Select '''File''' in the main menu, click '''Preferences''', select the '''Trading''' tab and check/uncheck the '''Sound Alerts''' check box.
* Right-click on the [[Chart Trading]] panel and click '''Sound Alerts'''.
