Managing Multiple Trading Accounts: How LamaTrader Is Built for Power Traders

Most traders eventually outgrow a single account. You want a paper account to test strategies without risking real capital. You want to manage a portfolio for a family member. You're running a small fund and need to operate across client accounts from one interface. You're an advisor who needs to execute trades on behalf of others without having the keys to their entire brokerage profile.

LamaTrader is built for exactly this. Multi-account management is a first-class feature — not an afterthought bolted on through a settings menu.

One-Click Login With Alpaca OAuth

Connect via Alpaca OAuth and both your live trading account and paper trading account load automatically — no API keys to copy, no manual configuration. The OAuth flow runs on Alpaca's secure servers; LamaTrader never sees your user password. Revoke access any time from your Alpaca account settings.

Trade on Behalf of Others — Securely

Add extra accounts via API key and secret. An account holder generates a trading key from their Alpaca dashboard and shares it with you. You add it in seconds. That key grants trading and market data access — but not fund withdrawals, banking operations, or account security changes. The permission boundary is enforced at the brokerage level.

There's no limit on the number of accounts you can connect. All are accessible from a single LamaTrader login, with instant switching between them.

Visual Themes Per Account

Each account can be assigned its own color theme — the entire platform appearance changes the moment you switch accounts. The distinction between live accounts, paper accounts, and client accounts is immediate and unmistakable. Executing in the wrong account because you forgot which was active stops being a risk.
