Question about multiple user values at same brokerage #154

Closed emin63 closed 2 years ago

emin63 commented 2 years ago

How do I handle the case where I have multiple accounts (with different user names) at the same brokerage?

For example, if I want to manage both my account and my Dad's account at TD Ameritrade, how should I do that? It seems like maybe I can just add another entry in the config file provided I manually fill in fid, org, brokerid, and url like in the example below:

[ameritrade_dad]
fid = 5024
org = Ameritrade
brokerid = ameritrade.com
user = dad_username
url = https://ofxs.ameritrade.com/cgi-bin/apps/OFX

Does the above look right or should I do something else for the case of multiple user names at the same broker?
