I’ve seen a couple other posts asking this, but no replies on those so I thought I’d ask as well.  
Is it possible to create an account / portfolio via the API?

Also, can we create more than one?

For example, if you have 2 trading bots that operate with different strategies, you’d want a separate account for each bot so you can compare the results.
