hi, in TWS, when you log in with a userId which has multiple accounts, there is a drop-down box on most screens where you select the account number.
In the API, you set the account number in reqAccountDetails and the Order item. I have gotten around the problem by requesting userId's from IB which only pertain to the specific accounts. However, I have to log into TWS in two separate instances (one each account) and also run two separate instances of jbooktrader. It would be better to be able to specify account in jbooktrader and run one instance of TWS and two of jbooktrader. Or even better, have the account specification at the strategy level, and only one instance of jbooktrader (but this would be much more difficult in jbooktrader.) I don't think that having the ability to add an account number would be that difficult to add in the case of one jbooktrader instance per account. Just creating a parameter and passing it through when requesting account details and when creating orders. thanks.
