is it legal to manage my parent's broker account?

My mother is not a resident of USA. she has some money to invest. I would like to help her to open an account with IB. is it legal for me to manage her account, e.g., log into her account and buy stocks for her?

 

I do it for my mother and sister.

 

the question is if it is legal?

 

Set it up as a proxy account with the appropriate permissions. The broker will tell you what you need to do.

 

You can set up an IB friends and family master account and then link that up to 15 IB accounts. That is legal.

Can you pool that money to meet the 25k PDT requirement?

 

Not sure, ask IB.
