TraderManager is a user role allowing to see and manipulate with other users data, such as accounts, positions, balances, orders etc.
Optional TM functionality is to send Allocation Block orders.

I would like to get the documentation on this TraderManager. and how it works with in this api. Specifically the way it logs into an account while that account is logged in some place else.

There is no way to log in to same user account from two places. TraderManager is an user role, and his user account has another username/password. He has underlying traders configured to manage.

When OEC API application connects for such a user, OECClient object downloads traders, orders, accounts associated with underlying traders, and could manipulate orders the same way traders do.

I understand what the allocation block is, I would like to know how to add one set it up and use it within the OECClient? please help for the documentation on this, well there isn't any.

You need to have a "wash account". You need to contact our Customer Service to create one for testing.

In OECAPI, you need to create allocation block
http://www.openecry.com/api/api/OEC.API.AllocationBlockConstructor1.html, add small accounts to it http://www.openecry.com/api/api/OEC.API.AllocationBlock.Add.html and then use it in OrderDraft instead of account via http://www.openecry.com/api/api/OEC.API.OrderDraft.AllocationBlock.html
