ges,
icb should not connect to both... if for some reason it does, things can get to
be very confusing ... very fast

Thanks Ara for the pointer.
I can see that both TWS IB accounts that I have open have the port set to
7496 and the IB Controller is set to 7496. But when I send an order from IBC,
it just goes to the first TWS that was opened.
I'll do some more experimenting and see if I can figure it out.

IB and ibc both have a parameter to control which TWS you connect to. You
can only connect to one TWS. This is done by selecting a port number. Look in
TWS configuration section and API area. ibc is easier to find the parameter,
but don't remember exactly where it is.
I beleive you can use that one connection to send orders to multiple IB
accounts in the same way that you would if you were using TWS to place your
orders.
I have not used multiple accounts, but ibc can communicate with ONE TWS and
you can do whatever you can normally do from TWS.

Thanks Ed,
The second computer is a possibility, but I'd rather work off of one
computer if possible.

I believe you need a "professional account" at IB but I am not sure. A
second computer works for sure.

OK, I opened 2 IB accounts (2 TWS) and sent an order from IB
Controller and it went to the account that was opened first.
Is that the only option? Or is there a way to control which account
receives the order from Amibroker?

I usually have 2 or 3 IB accounts open. With IB Controller, how do
you specify which account the trade is to go to?
