Dear Support, Can you please post a notification when you add documentation for the new feature: 'Order Allocation to Trade Accounts'? Also I have two questions: 1. Can you please confirm that this feature will be able to 100% replace IB's allocation model? 2. If possible can you please add support for trade allocation (to set different size for each subaccounts involved) when using the 'Order Allocation to Trade Accounts' function? Thank you.

We will try to have the documentation ready in about a week. 1. Not at this time because it just simply supports a 100% copy of an order to other accounts. It does not support percent allocation but we are sure we will get to that at some point. 2. Yes this will come. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

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.

Dear Support, Can you please confirm that this function (Order Allocation to Trade Accounts) is available for live trading now? I see that the documentation below was recently updated but not sure if it is supported/fully functional in live trading. Order Allocation to Trade Accounts Thank you.

We just noticed this now: 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. The answer is yes. Can you please confirm that this function (Order Allocation to Trade Accounts) is available for live trading now? Yes it is in the latest release. But you should tested first on a simulation account with Interactive Brokers. That is always an important precaution to take with any trading functionality that you have not used before. The functionality has undergone some basic testing and has numerous safety features in it, but still it is important for each user to test it on a simulation account first. We are not referring to Trade Simulation Mode but an Interactive Brokers paper trading account. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Hello, I'm with AMP and I requested that they put both my IRA and Indiv. Account under the same Sierra Chart Username. What is everything I need to do to be able to trade both accounts simultaneously? Thank you.

Broker: AMP Routed thru: CQG Trading on DOM ladder. USE ATTACHED ORDER is checked. See attached photo. I have setup according to instructions but the orders are not copying. My understanding is that orders should copy on the DOM ladder for the second as well. Is that correct? UPDATE: The order allocation seems to work as designed when NOT using attached orders. When attached orders ARE used, this is the outcome FYI: I placed an attached order for a BUY LMT with a Target and Stoploss on SIM1 and allowed it to fill. SIM2 DOM never showed the working orders on the ladder nor did it fill anything (as expected). However, when I flattened on SIM1 DOM, the SIM1 position flattened, but then SIM2 filled an individual sell order. So it seems any individual orders are copied but any attached orders are not copied. FYI for others. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-08-21 17:33:50

Does the order allocation support a "multiplier" for position sizes on the different accounts?

The delay relates to the work being done on our dialog windows, to update them to the new format. So once that is done for the Order Allocation to Trade Accounts window/dialog, we can then work on this new setting. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Can this fully substitute for an IB FA account, including position size allocation based on sub account sizes?
