You do not add accounts. Once a connection is up, Tradeus asks the broker which accounts it holds and lists them underneath. The connection has a status, and so does each account below it.
Each connection carries a Flatten all button, which closes everything open on every account under it at market. Each account under a connected session also has its own Flatten, which closes that one account and leaves the others on the connection as they are. It asks first, naming the account by its nickname and its number. Neither is hidden behind a menu.
Grouped by prop firm
Broker setup groups your connections by the prop firm each login came from. Each firm gets a heading with its logo — or its initials, where we have no artwork — its name, and how many connections and accounts sit under it. The firms come in the order the connect screen lists them, then names typed in as Other firm…, and last the connections you have not filed, under Own accounts. Tradeus does not guess the firm from a login or an account number — you say which it is, by picking the firm on the connect screen before the broker, or afterwards with Edit firm on the connection. A firm that is not in the list can be typed in as Other firm…, and the first entry in that list, Own account — not from a prop firm, takes a connection out of a firm again. Filing a connection changes how the page groups it and nothing else: the login, its accounts and what they trade stay exactly as they were.
Nicknames
The pencil beside an account gives it a nickname of up to 40 characters — Apex 1 instead of 70276688. Enter saves, Esc cancels, and an empty name puts the number back. The nickname replaces the number on the screens that list the account — the dashboard, the account page, the copier, strategy routing, the journal, the account lock and the kill switch — with the number still shown in small type, because the number is what your firm and your broker know it by. It never appears on a share card.
