You have a good question and partial fills can happen. If they happen in a block account, you need to maintain a certain ratio which would be the same as the original allocation. To the best of my knowledge, if there are odds trades that need to be allocated, the best approach is to randomly allocate them and legally not show favoritism.
When you trade in a block account, there is no preference to the advisor.
Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

What is the criteria to open "Friends and Family" account with Interactive Brokers ?
I was told you need to have 6 months account with profit, is that true ?
I just did your homework. I went to the IB site and typed "Friends and Family" in the search box and it says:
Accounts are geared towards professional/active traders and investors; therefore we require the following from customers:
Good or extensive product knowledge for any product you wish to trade.
Prior execution of 100 or more trades (any product).
A minimum equity deposit in cash or stock of USD 10,000 (or USD equivalent) or USD 5,000 for advisor client accounts and IRA accounts (or USD equivalent).

So it looks like you would be fine if you have enough experience.
