To deploy the same algorithm to two different Interactive Brokers (IB) accounts, you would need to clone the project and run them on separate live nodes. Currently, QuantConnect does not support multi-brokerage in the same algorithm for live nodes source.
To manage both live trading accounts from QuantConnect, you can use the QuantConnect platform. You can monitor the performance of your live algorithms, place manual trades, and manage your live deployments from the live trading dashboard.
If you want to trade on the same IB account with multiple algorithms, you would need to create a second user on your IB account and log in to Trader Workstation (TWS) with the new user credentials. To run more than one algorithm with IB, you would need to open an IB subaccount for each additional algorithm source.
Please note that by default, IB only supports one connection at a time to your account. If you interfere with your brokerage account while an algorithm is connected to it, the algorithm may stop executing source.
