Hello, I have a question regarding the feature "ORDER ALLOCATION TO TRADE ACCOUNTS".

When this feature is enabled, it works as expected...it allows for orders that are placed on one trading account to be copied exactly to a set of other specified trading accounts.
However, this is something to happened to me last week.
I took a trade with this functionality enabled. After that, i realized i wanted to managed the trade from each of the accounts independently, so I disable this functionality and adjusted each of the attached orders for each account separately. So that also worked fine.
However, the issue i had was when I moved the attached orders of the primary account...then all the other orders in the rest of the accounts moved as well and they were copied from the primary account. But, according to my understanding, this is not supposed to happen because the functionality was already disabled when I adjusted the attached orders of the primary account. Somehow, even though I disabled the feature, the orders from all the accounts were still linked to the primary account.

Am I understanding this the right way?

Is it possible to "break" this link once we disable the functionality?

Let me know your thoughts

Even after you disable the Order Allocation to Trade Accounts functionality, the existing controlling orders will still be linked to the orders to other allocated accounts and you cannot break that link.
