Hi, long ago I was following the JSystemTrader Forum and now I'm back
on JBookTrader.

I have a FA multi-account (behaves like an institutional multi-account
in the given case). At this time JBookTrader is not working with multi-
accounts, it just hangs after successful connection. This is because
reqAccountUpdates' second argument should contain the account code in
case of a multi-account. Otherwise, updateAccountValue() is simply not
called. To allow for multi-accounts, program modifications would be
minimal, as follows:

(a) Add a field "Account" in Preferences (TWS Connection) underneath
ClientID. This field is only required to be filled out in case the
user is attempting to connect to a multi-account. Example of an entry
would be DU20059 for a simulation account or it's alias name. This
value would be stored in a variable: enteredAccount.

(b) Method checkAccountType() in TraderAssistant.java should be
modified as follows:
socket.reqAccountUpdates(true, enteredAccount); INSTEAD OF
socket.reqAccountUpdates(true, ""); socket.reqAccountUpdates(false,
enteredAccount); INSTEAD OF socket.reqAccountUpdates(false, "");

That's it! It would be nice to have this minor modification in the
next release. Thank you!
