I am generally pleased with the improvements made in NT 8. However, this particular thing irks me because I "lost" a lot of money because of it:
- When I restore my workspace, I carefully check each chart window's Chart Trader setting to ensure that I'm using my live trading account in Interactive Brokers
- Over the course of the session, of course, I would create a new tab to check on other instruments
- When a new tab + instrument is created, the ENTIRE chart window is affected because the account is now set to Sim101 (this means ALL the charts within that same window is affected)
- It took me a while to figure this out and I ended up not making a single cent over a few trades (being happy over nothing) simply because some mysterious thing kept jiggling my account to sim and it's this funny behavior of NT
I am not asking to set a "default account" (I know this is a very common request), I am merely asking if there's a way NOT to jiggle the account setting in the windows so that I don't accidentally set my account for the entire chart windows to sim just because I wanted to have a new tab to look at some other charts.
