Why Accounts in IB TWS Are Constantly Switching?

The 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''' accounts does allow any 3rd party software to access all subaccounts at the same time to get updated account balance information, open market positions, active orders and so on. That is why MultiCharts has to constantly switch them in IB TWS to update the info in all accounts.

<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Old versions of MultiCharts may have an issue showing similar behavior '''withoutan''' '''FA''' or '''Master''' account connected. Update your MultiCharts to at least version 8 to fix the issue..</div>
