Hi! I have 3 APEX accounts and am trying to determine how to place 1 trade that hits all 3 accounts. On my chart I have my trade window open with 1 of my accounts selected. When I go into "order allocation" the available accounts list shows all 3 of my accounts. When I choose one of my accounts to add (one of the two that is NOT on my trade window on my chart), and double click "add", the account is added to my "Allocation Accounts (List)" below. When I place a trade, it has been working fine and copying the trade to the account I added to the allocation accounts list. The problem comes in when I try and add my second account to the allocations list. It won't add it to the list. I can remove the 1st account and then the second account will be added but I can't seem to get both of them on the list at the same time. Help! :)

There should not be an issue with this. If you have everything setup as you initially state - so you have 3 accounts listed in the "Available Accounts" at the top (lets call them AC1, AC2, and AC3). And you are using AC1 as the primary account, so you have AC2 listed in the "Allocation Accounts" item in the middle of the window, then do the following: - Select AC3 in the "Available Accounts" at the top. - Select the "[Add]" button just below the "Available Accounts" line. - Select the menu field for "Allocation Accounts" - you will now see AC2 and AC3 listed in that field. That is all. Now when you use that chart and you have "Order Allocation To Trade Accounts" enabled, any order will get copied to AC2 and AC3. If the above does not work, then let us know exactly where the issue is. Are you not able to select the account in the "Available Accounts" field? Are you not able to select the "[Add]" button, etc. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
