  • Set up Account Groups to allocate shares based on a single method for a group of accounts.
  • Create Allocation Profiles that allocate specific percentages or shares of each order to individual accounts based on your own rules and values.
  • Set a default allocation that will be used automatically when you create an order, and easily change the default allocation at any time.
  • Modify allocations on an order-by-order basis.
  • Create Account Aliases to assign easy-to-remember names to accounts.
  • Place orders and allocate shares directly from Trader Workstation.
