Is it somehow possible to send TS manual orders to MC/IB?
I would like to double up on my size next year but wish to split my broker risk.

Yes I suppose, by writing the orders in TS to a file and then having an automated trading strategy in MultiCharts read that file (with ADE or the ELCollection) and submit the orders based on the file's content.Is it somehow possible to send TS manual orders to MC/IB?
I don't know if the other way around is possible, but sending orders from MultiCharts to TS and to IB seems less error-prone to me.

I am not automated and I like my broker risk to be split so I have margin accounts at TS and IB with accounts near equal size.Can you elaborate a bit more on what you want to do?Is it somehow possible to send TS manual orders to MC/IB?

It would be great if I could manually enter orders in one platform and have them duplicated in the other platform. I realize some limit orders will get filled in one platform and not the other, then I'll just cancel/replace with a market order assuming the trade signal is still intact.
I just got a lead on RT Soft, but I am not entirely automated so I am not sure if that would work. Since my trading has been working well, I have been less motivated to automate 100%. Perhaps in 2016.

Yes, that's kind of what I was thinking might work too.
