Why can’t we subscribe to the same strategy in 2 different brokerage accounts without having to have 2 different C2 accounts ( logins )?
I understand the basic reasons ( P&L report for example ) so how can it be “fixed”?
I have 3 IB trading accounts. Taxable, Traditional, Roth IRA’s.
In order to own the same strategy in each account, I would have to have 3 different C2 accounts, 3 different logins, 3 different email accounts, use 3 different browsers ( if I want to view all 3 at the same time ).
I do BTW.
Not having any other option ( that I know of ) this is how I am forced to use the site.
It is a PAIN.
I thought I would get used to it, but it is still a hassle.
There’s got to be a better way.
I’m hoping some of you can chime in with ideas for Matthew & crew to help simplify things.
One option might be to allow developers to “clone” their strategies & just call them by a slightly different name “BestVIXstrategy, BestVIXstrategyclone1, BestVIXstrategyclone2” ( as an over-simplified example ), give them different strategy I.D. #'s.
If this ends up being the easiest solution ( for now? ) perhaps the C2 team would be willing to help expedite/simplify this process for developers & offer a discount for “cloned” strategies. It seems like it would be a win/win/win for all of us.
I would ( obviously ) expect to pay for the clones as well as the original strategy, I just don’t want to keep going through the same trouble of logging into C2 with 3 different logins, emails, browsers, etc.
The other solution would be to have multiple C2 accounts under 1 login. Like IB does. Once I am logged in @ IB, I can “toggle” between my 3 accounts. How hard would that be for C2 programmers to set up? Would there be any drawbacks to doing it that way?
They really need to address this issue in order to future-proof the website in my opinion.
We are able to trade different strategies in different brokerage accounts with the same login, we just cant subscribe to the SAME STRATEGY in more than 1 trading account using the same login.
Am I overlooking something?
Does someone out there have a better idea?
I know this has been discussed before, but it just seems like it keeps getting swept under the rug.
Are there any other subscribers out there who would like to see this issue resolved?
Looking forward to your replies.

This would definitely be a very useful feature. I trade some systems in two brokerage accounts and currently have to use 2 C2 logins for that.
Ditto from me. This would save us lot of time.
