Multiple IB Accounts Error Resolution
This IBridgePy update information resolves problems when placing orders with multiple Interactive Brokers accounts. If you have multiple IB accounts connected to one login, IBridgePy now properly handles account specification for order placement.
User reported “Error validating request:-td : cause – You must specify an account.”
The root cause of the error is that multiple IB accounts are connected to one login so that placing orders must specify one of the accounts.
