TS FX strategy signals to IB via NTv6

[jtrade]

Forex lots in TS8 are set at either $100k standard lots (up to and including 8.2) or the subscribers choice of $10k minilots or $100k lots (8.3, now in beta release). In 8.3, the fxBig Point Value is 1 (formerly 100,000 I think), so that a $10k minilot shows up in the TradeManager as 10,000.

I see that NT can accept strategy signals from TS8 for execution via IB. My question is this : can NT accept cashforex strategy signals from TS8 and then execute via IB's IDEALPRO fx and, if so, how to specify the "lot" size with IB ?

I am wondering how NT addresses the issue of breaking IDEALPRO into "lots" for mulitiple exits, for example : can this be setup in the instrument manager in some way, eg. $25k lots for USDCHF, or £17.5k lots for GBPUSD?

Hope my question is clear !

Thanks for the response. TS8 fx accounts clear through GAIN and they seem like a good firm, but the issue of course is about IB spreads, which as usual are the best (despite the small additional commission).

Although I place a few trades via TS for thefree platform, mostly I trade via IB.
