It's not clear for me what you are doing and what is not working. Why don't you create one profile for each account and se the desired account as the last accessed for the specific profile? What does not work in this scenario?

Let me simplify
I manage two separate accounts on cTrader (Account A and Account B). To streamline my operations, I attempted to create individual profiles for each account and set up corresponding desktop shortcuts intended to launch cTrader directly into these specific accounts. However, I've encountered an issue where cTrader does not adhere to the account-specific profiles as expected.
Here's the process I followed: 1. I created Profile 1 linked to Account A and Profile 2 linked to Account B (maybe explain me how to do this part correctly) 2. I set up desktop shortcuts for each profile, aiming to open cTrader directly with the respective accounts. 3. Despite this setup, cTrader consistently opens with the last account that was active before the application was closed, regardless of the chosen profile. For instance, if I close cTrader while Account B is active and later open cTrader using the shortcut for Profile 1 (linked to Account A), it still defaults to Account B.
I am using the "multiple profiles" setting during startup, but this issue persists, causing unintended orders on the wrong account due to the need to manually switch accounts every time I launch cTrader.
Could you please clarify the proper steps “create one profile for each account and the desired account as the last accessed for the specific profile?”
I suspect I might be missing a crucial step or misunderstanding the setup process. Detailed guidance on ensuring each profile reliably opens with its designated account would be immensely helpful. Thank you.
