Auto-execute orders in 2 accounts simultaneously

I have been using TOS for about 2 months now, and I'm basically scalp trading so I'm in and out sometimes within a few seconds. I am looking for a way to trade in 2 accounts simultaneously, so that I don't have to click buy/sell in both accounts, as my strategy really dictates speed of execution. Does anyone know of a way to do this using thinkscript? I can't find a way to do it with default TOS functionality.

I know that you can send split orders with multiple accounts using the order confirmation window, but that's way too slow and cumbersome for me. I really need the orders to auto-send with one click. I realize there could be issues with partial fills and then varying position sizes between the accounts when I try to sell, etc., but I figure most of those can be resolved with a combination of market orders and the flatten button.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

ToS platform does not provide the ability to reference the account in thinkscript.
