I have several accounts that I'm trying to use the Order Allocation function on. In the Trade Window, I choose one account named APEX-65575-01 (see Clipboard01.jpg) then I click on M/Menu -> Settings -> Order Allocation to Trade Acccounts (see Clipboard02.jpg). I'm trying to allocate across 3 of my accounts (APEX-65575-01, APEX-65575-02, and APEX-65575-03). I fill in APEX-65575-01 in the "Available Accounts (List)" field. I believe the "Allocation Accounts (List)" field should contain the populated drop-down menu list of my accounts APEX-65575-01, APEX-65575-02, and APEX-65575-03. But, the populated drop-down menu list is empty (see Clipboard03.jpg). Did I follow the SC instructions correctly?

In your second screenshot. Did you press the [Add] button below the account?

You need to press the Add button to add an Available Account to the Allocation Accounts list. And you cannot add the account the chart trade window is set to.

I clicked on the Add button (A button), but nothing happens. The dropdown menu is still blank.

Make sure in the first dropdown, you select an account you want to add. You cannot have the parent account selected.

Got it. I believe I filled it out like the way I want. My currently active trading account is shown in pic1.jpg. In pic1b.jpg, I followed your instructions and was able to add 2 more accounts in the "Allocation Accounts (List)" section. For the "Allocation Trade Account Multiplier" section, I don't fully understand it. Should I leave it as 1 or change it to 3? Whatever trade I initiate on the Trade Window (see pic1.jpg) on my "APEX-65575-01" account, I want copied over to my other 2 accounts ("APEX-65575-02" and "APEX-65575-03" accounts) in the Allocation Accounts list (see pic1b.jpg). What value should the multiplier be?

The multiplier is for position size. So you trade 1 lot in your primary account, but another account trades 3x that, for example. Definitely leave that at 1 unless you are reeeeeeeally sure you want to trade some size. ;)

Use a Multiplier of 1.
