# Ratios

This method calculates the allocation of shares based on the ratios you enter.

**Example:**

Assume an order for 300 shares of stock ABC is transmitted.

In the example code shown in the right side, you can see that:

1. A ratio of 1.0 and 2.0 is set to Account A and Account B. Account A should receive 100 shares and Account B should receive 200 shares.
