(in Canada) I have a margin account and a TFSA account with interactive brokers. When I place an order on futures using Sierra I get the error account not specified.
Is there a way to specified the account I with to place trades in?
thanks

There should never be a case where the Trade Account is not specified with an order to Trader Workstation.

Make sure the correct Trade Account is selected on the Trade Window for the chart:

If you still have a problem follow the instructions here to provide the current TWS log file to Interactive Brokers support so they can see what the problem is: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/InteractiveBrokers.php#ProvidingTWSLogFiles
