I am getting an error "Submit of non-allocation order to master account XXX for sectype STK is not allowed". What should I do?

Your professor (master) account does not allow trading. If you would like to trade your own account, simply create a student account for yourself.

To create your own student account:

  • Invite yourself to open a student account.
    1. Log in to Client Portal
    2. Select the Trading Lab menu item
    3. From the Invite page, enter your email address
    4. Click the Continue button
    5. You will receive an invitation to create your own simulated account.

Your trading account will be available within 1-2 business days.

Can my professor reset my paper trading account for me?
How do I use my professor account to invite students to open their own account?
If I already have an IBKR account, do I need to create a separate IMPACT account?
