yes they gave the S/w and I was using it. But when I Installed LSL S/W it was asked to remove the existing S/W. Can I install the same s/w twice and keep??

Can.. two broker have 2 server addresses then it will install the other broker's one on top of the current one..

Better u use the software for the big account and use the web interface on the other account.. so u can see both at the same time.. In web, u can even use both users on 2 seperate windows.

You should be able to use the same installation for both brokers by changing the server IP address.

Im using one software for both. Just changing IP address in login window setting link at bottom. But once i asked that from broker IT people they said never. But it working well.
those brokers new to DFN not familiar to new soft.
so try to learn after trading time. DFN PRO better than DFN TWS.

If you are using windows 7, you can run a Windows XP virtual machine inside it (It's like a computer inside a computer). If you install DFN in the virtual machine, you should be able to run two instances of DFN at the same time (1 in windows 7 and 1 in XP)
