I have two accounts at IBKR - my IRA, and a margin account.

It "defaults" to the IRA - how do I change it to use my margin account? I don't see anywhere in data/trade service settings.

In the running instance of the IBKR PRO platform, I have my margin account selected.

Thanks

Refer to the following:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Trade Account (Selecting Trade Account for Chart / Trade DOM)
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

Thanks. If it was a snake, it would have bitten me. Was looking everywhere but in the obvious place.
