If you can support #2 that would eliminate the use of percentage allocation models when trading multiple accounts (mostly on futures) at IB. If you can make this (lot allocation) part of the top of your priority list that would be great. I personally always do pre-trade allocation calculations for each subaccounts outside IB first, then check IB to verify if everything is going well. And in many cases I manage it through Sierra: although your order fill based display works extremely well, in many cases I prefer to execute trades on indvidual subaccounts on separate DOMs. Please let me know if you need tester during this phase, I am more than happy to check functions both on Sim and a live Advisor environment, following your instructions. Additionally a question: are you going to support this feature in the close future when using TT's broker-independent capabilities (multi-broker/multiaccount - when accessing various accounts maintained at different clearing firms/banks through a single TT login)? That would eliminate the need to use IB for several advisor users and would give a final answer to some of us who trade at multiple clearing firms at once. Thank you.
