In the c:\Jts folder of your computer there are several folders with long names. Each one of those corresponds to a username used in TWS and contains the settings of that specific username in a file called tws.xml.
- Once you create a new paper trading account, you will have a new paper username that you will use to log into TWS. Once you are logged in you will notice that a new c:\Jts subfolder is created
- Once ths subfolder has been created, close TWS and go into the user folder of the old paper user (check the "Last accessed date" of each folder and pick the folder with the last accessed date that corresponds to the last time you logged in with the old paper account) and then copy the tws.xml file from the old paper folder to the new paper folder (overwriting the existing file)
- Start TWS again and your old paper account settings will load for your new paper session.
