Use Nicknames instead of Account and Nickname or allow configuration

The Nickname is pointless if you are showing a long account number in say a Grid or the account selector drop down for trading because many times you can’t even see the nickname.

1. Maybe have a configuration “Show Only Nicknames”.

2. If true then do not show the account number in the Account Trading Selector drop down (top left), do not show the account number in any of the grid controls like Accounts, Positions, Orders, and Trades but just show the Nickname.

Benefit: This allows us to configure shorter identifications and conserve screen space and also mental processing of which account is being trade, balances, open pnl, and open orders.

Example: I set the Nickname to “TSX-1234” and I know that means TopstepX XFA last 4 digits 1234. It is unlikely the last 4 will ever match and if they do then someone can expand the digits.
