    I'm not super clear on the best way to start paper trading with DAS.  Do I need a paid account for this? Would I set that up on the DAS website? And how does that involve the brokerage account? It looks like DAS is included with some brokerage accounts, like CMEG, but from what I can tell interactive brokers would be superior if I can use my LIRA account at first at least and I wouldn't have to go offshore to evade the margin account minimum restrictions on day trading.

    For sim trading you don't need a brokerage account, in fact DAS sim can´t be linked to a broker. You can get DAS sim from BBT at a discounted price with Market Replay included, please go here ($300 x 3 months, with DAS Inc. it is $150 / month without market replay). 

    If you open an account with a broker like IB or CMEG and choose DAS Trader as platform, you will have also a paper trading account beside your brokerage account.

    I just signed up for and downloaded DAS Trader Simulator to try out the new replay feature.  Unfortunately, my excitement has been delayed as I got an error message when I try to switch the Quote Mode to Replay saying "No permission for replay mode!"  Does anyone know if there is something I'm missing or the replay feature only exists for paying users?

    Make sure you have the latest sim version: https://www.dastrader.com/download/DEMO.html

    As many of you know, DAS Trader has released a very important learning tool, especially for those who cannot trade in real time during market hours. The new tool "replays" the price action of any stock, so traders can now practice their chart reading skills anytime that’s convenient. Like in real time, you can use your hotkeys, levels, and other indicators to improve your trading performance. If you would like to know more, watch these videos on our YouTube channel here.

    How much does it cost? This add-on feature costs $15 per month, but is included free of charge to all BBT traders who purchase their DEMO simulator from the BBT website ($300 for a three month simulator account). This is another great benefit of membership with BBT: the simulator is now $100 per month with the three month package versus the regular $165 per month ($150+$15).

    If you are already a BBT sim user you can download latest DAS Sim (production) with market Replay or beta version 5.4.6.0 here. If you have questions about this feature please read this forum post. 

    For traders who already have a live account, this feature is only available to customers of Interactive Brokers (IBCO) and, as explained above, costs $15 per month. If you are already using DAS for your IB account, please go to the DAS Trader website and select the Add-on Fundamental Data/Market Replay Level 1 package for it here.

    Unfortunately, this feature is not currently available for other broker dealers (such as CMEG, CenterPoint, Speedtrader, etc.). Also, Level 2 replay is not yet ready, but we have requested this additional feature from DAS Trader. We hope they implement this feature as soon as possible, since we know reading Level 2 can provide great trading and scalping opportunities for active traders.

    If you try the new replay tool and enjoy it, please feel welcome to send DAS Trader a thank-you note or give them a shout out on social media. They have been a great technology provider for active traders for decades, and we look forward to using their future innovations to further benefit our trading performance.

    Start live next week. Been trading sim and CFD’s for a year now. This will be my first account with a real broker. 
     

    Sim last week I made avg of 3.3% per day.....but I know Sim and Live are completely different, I believe I have blown up enough real money CFD’s to be more disciplined this time. 

    I guess after a couple of months trading live you´ll be able to define a realistic profit target.

    Hi Debbie. Sim is a habit builder, good and bad habits. So trade in sim as you would in real. Don´t get fomo because you are not trading, an important part of the learning process is your reflection and review of your trades (journaling) so your learning daily sesion should have the trading stage and the journaling stage.

    Hi all,

    I tried to search for this answer but found nothing.

     

    Can you tell me how to quickly remove selected rows  from Watchlist (Market Viewer)? (Like setting a short key, other than right click -> delete)

     

    This short key will save  me a little more time in the pre market setup.

    Thank you.

    Brian T.

    As far as I know the only option is right click -> delete. You can select all rows with your mouse and then delete all at once.

    Besides the account showing in the montage and in other DAS windows like positions, trades, etc.  there is no other visual indication of the account you are using. You can suggest a feature to DAS Inc., in DAS Trader Pro click Help > About > Feature Request.

    I have an alarm set in my phone to check account 5 mins before market opens.
