IB have informed me it is not possible to have 2 paper trading accounts with a trust account setup. Does anyone know of an easy hack to get around this?

Why do you need two?

The paper trading account comes with a significant balance. Simple divide into two (or less) then use Share Trade Tracker to record trades and stats.

Great news!

Unless she also needs the API use the Share Trade Tracker.

From account management you can create another user so both can be logged in from separate devices with different user names
