Copy Trading

[zemuss]

One of the reasons i was asking for TradeStation integration is I have an account there and with TDA. I am curious if you have thought about creating a feature to trade a single options contract or Stock Trade on two accounts at the same time for personal use.

Thanks,

you can do that with hotkeys. You can create a hotkey that sends 2 orders, one to each account.

holy moly! i need to check this out! 

I hope i am not being annoying just things that have been on my mind. 

Any instructions on this?

[Jerry Medved]

Hotkey can have more than one order defined in it.  For each one, you can add account explicitly in which case that will be used, not whatever account on the window that you are executing from. NOTE: you would want to do SEND=TRUE and DROP=FALSE for this

I have so many questions about hot keys.. going to look at this over the weekend.

@Jerry Medved you wouldn't have some hotkeys i can import on this subject would you?

If you have the Hot Key window open and press F1 you get a run time error.

thanks will fix.

Is it possible to get some sample Hotkeys to import them regarding Copy Trading?

[Mike Medved]

I am not sure exactly what example you're looking for.

The hotkey below buys the same number of shares, at Ask, in two accounts:
