mlsignups Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 I have a question; I think I know how to do this but thought I'd check. I have three accounts where I buy and sell the same things at the same time; one is my own account which is larger and the 2 others are smaller accounts for a family member. In interactive brokers I set up a profile where when i buy something 90% of it goes into the one account and then the rest get allocated to the others. It looks like I can have multiple actions with one hotkey so if i wanted to buy i could do the calculations to buy x # of shares into one account, then y # of shares into another account all with one hotkey, correct? So if my main account was say $100K and I wanted a 5% position, I could first calculate the first action to be 100,000 x .05 / stock price and set that account to be main account. Then set another action if that account were $20K to say on that one buy 20,000 x .05 / stock price and send that to account #2 All with one hotkey. Am I thinking about that clearly?

Jerry Medved Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 yes, that is what you would want to do, explicitly specifying the accounts in each action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
