Hi

is it possible to open a second MT platform from an other computer at the same time I already use a MT platform on a first computer?

In other words, 2 computers with a MT platform on each one open at the same time.

Thanks.

sure we don't have a problem with that. datafeed would be a different issue. in the case of IB, you either have to use a different account on the 2nd computer, or you have to connect to TWS on the first. To do that, you would have to

1) specify the 2nd computer's IP address as a trusted IP in TWS API settings on the first computer 

2) in MT on the 2nd computer, change the IP address to connect to from 127.0.0.1, to the internal IP address of the first computer.

Sorry but what you call an internal IP address?

 

Thanks

you can open a command prompt in Windows, then type in IPCONFIG and hit enter. You should see something like 
 

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : lan
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.23
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
 

that highlighted address would be your local area network IP address.
