Managing Multiple Accounts

Arconomy allows you to connect as many broker accounts as you want. Whether you want to run different strategies on separate accounts, trade across multiple brokers, or maintain dedicated demo and live environments, you have full flexibility in how you organise your trading operations.

Connecting Multiple Accounts

Each broker account is connected independently using the same FIX API connection process. You can connect accounts from the same broker, different brokers, or a mix of demo and live accounts — there is no limit on the number of connections.

To add another account, click the Connect button on the Trading Accounts card in your dashboard and follow the connection steps for the new account.

Using Accounts in Strategies

Connected accounts can be used in your strategies in several ways:

• Different strategies, different accounts: Deploy each strategy to its own dedicated broker account. This keeps the performance and capital of each strategy completely separate.
• Same strategy, multiple accounts: Deploy the same strategy to more than one broker account. This is useful if you want the same strategy to trade across multiple accounts simultaneously.
• Multiple brokers: Connect accounts from different brokers to take advantage of each broker's strengths — for example, one broker for its tight forex spreads and another for its range of index instruments.

When deploying a strategy, you select which connected account to use. Each deployment is independent, so stopping a strategy on one account does not affect its execution on any other account.

Maintaining Demo and Live Accounts

A common workflow is to maintain both demo and live accounts. Use demo accounts to test new strategies or parameter changes before promoting them to a live account. This creates a development pipeline for your trading operations:

1. Demo account: Test new strategy ideas and modifications with virtual funds.
2. Live account: Deploy proven strategies with real capital.

See Demo vs Live Accounts for more on the differences between account types and the subscription requirements for each.

Removing an Account

To remove a broker account from Arconomy, first stop any strategies currently deployed to the account. Then navigate to the account connection and remove it. Open positions on the broker account are not affected — they remain open and must be managed directly through your broker's cTrader platform.
