Trading Multiple Accounts

The trading software is designed to facilitate trading and managing multiple accounts from a single login window. Clients who have their platform configured for multiple account trading will see each account in the "Account Information" window:

Each action will be performed on the account which is currently highlighted (dealing, account history, view reports, etc.) just as if the trader was managing a single account.

Block trades and orders can also be placed which will automatically be distributed among the accounts as per the trader's instructions.  Indicate how many lots each account is to receive by clicking on the cell in the "DA" column ('Default Amount') of the row showing the account details in the "Account Information" window.

In order to save this information, apply a group name to each row by left-clicking the appropriate row in the "Group" column.  When finished, save the settings by selecting "File"; "Save Settings" (or “Settings”; “Save on Server” for ICTS-Wintrader) before you exit.

Multiple accounts can then be selected by holding down the "Ctrl" key and clicking on each account (note that clicking and dragging will not properly select the accounts). Once the desired accounts are selected, the trader can then trade from the "Dealing Rates Table" window. The default number of lots for each trade will now be the sum total of the "DA" entry for each selected account. When the trade is executed, each account will have the corresponding number of lots automatically placed in it.
