Hi Guys! I love Sierra. Thanks for all that you do. I do have a functionality question. I have 3 accounts which cannot be combined for tax purposes. When trading futures, I'd like to be able to place a trade that hits all three accounts at the same time. This will eliminate me from having to log off one account and go into another or have 3 screens. Having to place the trades separately in all 3 accounts means I'll miss some of the trades with the speed the market moves. I've seen other software that allows you to link some or all of your accounts. Then before placing a trade it asks you to click in the box next to the accounts in which you want the upcoming trade to take place. It's a great feature. Is this something that currently exists in Sierra? If not, is it something you could look at adding with your next release? Thanks so much.

I know you can do this with Infinity Futures, not sure about other brokers. You essentially create a parent account with 3 child accounts. You trade in the parent account and the contracts are allocated to the child accounts. For example, if you want child 1 to trade 1 contract, child 2 to trade 2 contracts, and child 3 to trade 3 contracts, you have a total of 6 contracts. You then trade multiples of 6 contracts at a time in the parent account, and the child accounts are traded according to your allocations. There is a video showing how Infinity Futures does it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG_s6suYB0I |
