Can you tell me how the SC check box for Enable Financial Advisor Account Settings functions? Entering a position is not a problem because SC is not looking for a position. On exit though, there is no position in the Advisor Acct since it was distributed to the sub accounts. On an exit order, does SC ignore the lack of a position in the Advisor Acct and just send the order and let the settings in IB TWS handle it from that point, or does SC look through in any way to the sub accounts? I don't have a Group, Method or Percentage in IB. Just a Profile. So I have my Profile Group listed in SC. If I try and list an Orders Account nothing functions, so I leave that blank. I do have Positions Accounts listed which are the sub accounts. With these settings, as long as I just use the trade functions in SC standard all works fine. It is when I try to add a custom spreadsheet feature for auto trading that a problem appears. And always on trying to flatten and close the position.(Target or stop setting). The problem is it appears that the exit order is sent, and sent and sent so I end up with a large reversed position. I have read the documentation in SC and talked to IB. If I understand how SC functions with the Advisor box checked I'm hoping it will allow me to write the spreadsheet correctly. Thanks
