multiple IB accounts

[RoughTrader]

Hi all,

Just wondering if any of you know:

I have multiple IB accounts, and would like to be able to place the same order into every account by placing the order once. I use NinjaTrader right now as a frontend.

I heard there is a "friends and family" account that IB offers, but I'm not sure if that is what I need to get the job done.

Thanks,

RT

Hello RT. I just came across a reference to something called IB_Direct that claims to be able to send simultaneous orders to 3 IB accounts. Check it out at http://www.foretrade.com/ib direct.htm

Regards,
Mitch

In Ninja you can create account groups which will accomplish what you're looking for.
