I use it that way, but I am not able to get the positions to update correctly. It used to work OK, but now I have to check TWS manually for my position information. I've been meaning to spend some more time trying to figure out what is happening. There is thread or two on the old support board on this issue started by me.

My usual configuration is to place equal quantity orders from my FA account to two separate U accounts.

Update to version 993 and then check the Position Account numbers in Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings.

Also you can use trade fill calculated positions:

After updating from 990 to 993, the positions have correctly updated. I haven't checked after a trade yet. Thanks.
