If you have more than one saved connection, the next question is which one the app is using. Multiple cards do not mean every account has been combined into one shared balance. Each connection has its own provider, label, cash information, and configured controls. Start by finding the card marked Default Live account on desktop.

On mobile, the card identifies the Default Live connection and may show an Active badge. In this location, Active identifies that default connection. It is not the same as saying a trading strategy is running. Read the badge in its own section, just as you learned to separate the dashboard's update connection from Paper or Live trading mode.

On desktop, a different validated connection can offer Use for Live trading. If a provider is limited to account viewing in a particular environment, the label can instead say Use for Live account view. Read the actual button and any limitation. Do not press it simply to explore what happens; it changes the selected account context.

After an intentional selection, look for the default marker on the intended card and the result message. The current app explains that portfolio and reporting will use that exchange context. Then return to the relevant view and read the account and mode labels again. Do not assume a familiar-looking screen must still refer to the account you were viewing a moment ago.

Consider two illustrative connections named Main account and Second account. If the first reports five hundred dollars and the second reports three hundred, switching to the second does not transfer the first account's cash. It also does not create an eight-hundred-dollar trading balance. You changed which connection is selected, not the ownership or location of the money.

A connection selection is also different from the Paper and Live switch. It is different from enabling or pausing automation, and different from canceling an order or closing a position. If you have ongoing activity, understand that activity and its account before making a connection change. Do not use switching as a shortcut for ending something you intended to stop.

The current mobile connection list shows the default identity but does not offer the same desktop default-selection button. Use the desktop account-selection workflow when that change is needed. You can still complete this lesson on a phone by identifying the default and explaining what switching would mean. A missing control is not an invitation to delete a connection to force a switch.

For your check, identify the default connection without sharing its private details. Explain which views will need a fresh context check after an intentional change. Then explain why selecting another account does not combine balances, transfer assets, or certify that trading stopped. Keeping those boundaries clear is more useful than making a practice switch.
