I just chatted with IB CS who said post allocation for F&F Account is not allowed. Pre trade allocation to sub-account is required. So I just leave it at the moment.

Hi, I trade futures and some friends of mine want me to trade for them as well. I've checked with IB it seems that F&F account may work that way. I want to do it for free for my friends but at the same time don't want to affect my own P&L. I want in every trade to have the first 3...

I like IB, but I happen to have all those horrors.

Sheepsucker, Mirus / Zenfire said they don't have plan to connect to HSI/MHI.
