T4’s Main Window will appear at the top of your screen by default.
The Main Window is where you set the Current Trading Account, create new items, change global properties, and save global settings. P&L and Cash for the Currently Trading Account are also displayed. The Current Trading Account is T4’s active account. Any trades submitted and any account related information displayed is going to be for this account. The only place to view all your account information is the Account Board.
