Account Group with Live Account and Sim Account

[Taddypole]

Is it possible to create an Account Group with a Live account and a Sim account? I wanted to do some testing with Account Groups.

Thanks,

Hello Taddypole,

Yes, you can add simulation and live accounts in an account group. More information regarding account groups can be found at the link below.

Thanks Jason,

I'll give it a try...

I created an Account Group called My Group. But when I selected it for trading, the Chart Trader area background color still has the Sim background color. Is that expected?

Hi Taddypole,

That sounds to be a bit out of place.

Does the group account include any simulation accounts, or are all accounts live?

[Taddypole]

Yes Kyle,

That was the purpose of this thread... to have a Live account and a Sim account in a "Account Group" for testing...

Hi Taddypole,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Based on my testing, that result looks to be correct. I will forward a request to development that this be changed in the future, however.

Thanks Kyle,

Yes, I would certainly prefer that the background color indicate that I have a live account selected.
