Unification of Groups and Profiles

With TWS/IBGW build 983+, the API settings will have a new flag/checkbox, “Use Account Groups with Allocation Methods” (enabled by default for new users). If not enabled, groups and profiles would behave the same as before. If it is checked, group and profile functionality will be merged.

With TWS/IBGW Build 10.20+, this setting is now enabled by default, and moving forward into new versions, the two systems can be deemed as interchangeable for modifying allocation groups, placing orders, requesting account or portfolio summaries, or requesting multiple positions.
