Dear Sierra Chart team,

When I try to commit a new trade account in the Simulated Trading Service I receive a server error: operation not allowed. I tried reconnecting and restarting the PC with no effect. My trading service is set on trading evaluator-delayed. See the attached image if needed.

Thank you.

The two items you need to have entered are the "Trade Account Name" (which you enter when you first select Manage >> New Trade Account , and the "Currency Code". Our guess that that you do not have the Currency Code set.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

I am running into this same issue.

I add a currency code then I commit the account, I get a "Server error: Operation not allowed" pop-up, after clicking OK the currency field is blanked out.

I've always had the "Currency Code" set to USD when trying to commit, the same problem persists. I tried other currencies too.

For some reason, the commit button now works, but only for other account names I haven't used before.

The cause of encountering this error:
Server error: Operation not allowed

On the Trading Evaluator-Delayed service has now been resolved. We do apologize for this.
