Newbie Question/Quick help Pls

 

Hey All - 


I just set up a signal that I'd like to try.  I've set up a *second* account on my brokerage (FPMarkets) in order to keep things segmented from my 'manual trading' account.  Question is: do I have to remain always logged into my 2nd account (the one designated for signal testing) in order to get the live signals or can I also be logged into my primary 'manual' trading account?

One account has nothing to do with the other.

You want the signals to trade the second account you log in to the second account. Either always, or use a VPS.

If you want to also log in to the primary, install a second terminal in a second directory and run both.

Much thanks - will give that a try.  On a separate issue - my trades from my signal are not getting executed for some reason - any ideas?
