Hi,
I have been placing orders via API for a while with no problems. I have been doing it on a particular single account number though. I was wondering if one could place an order, say buy 300 shares of msft and have it be distributed to, say, 3 different accounts, so each account gets 100 shares, or done via a percentage that you can specify; 20%/40%/40% etc. If this ability exists, does it work properly?
Also, on the IB side, do they charge you on 300 shares and divide that cost among the 3 accounts? Or is each account charged the same commission as if you placed 3 orders for each account?
Thanks!
