Interactive Brokers has specific types of accountaccounts, such as:
* '''Financial Advisor account (FA)'''
* '''Master account'''
* '''Friends and Family account'''
The distinguished distinguishing feature of those accounts is the presence of subaccounts. Customers with '''FA''', or '''Master''', or '''Friends and Family''' accounts may notice that when MultiCharts is connected to IB data source/broker with such an account type, all subaccounts are constantly changing in IB TWS. There is a reason for this. '''FA'''/'''Master'''/'''Friends and Family''' account doesn't accounts does allow any 3rd party software to access all subaccounts at the same time to get updated information about account balanceinformation, open market positions, active orders and so on. That is why MultiCharts has to constantly switch them constantly in IB TWS to update the info on in all accounts.

<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Old versions of MultiCharts may have an issue showing similar behavior '''without''' '''FA''' or '''Master''' account connected. Update your MultiCharts to at least to version 8 to fix the issue..</div>
== How to disable switching of accounts in IB TWS==
# Run only IB TWS.
# Click on '''Configure''' in the main TWS window.# Click on the '''Messages''' section.
