Hey fellow BBTers! For background: I'm back for a second time with BBT after a year off. I'm recently a member of the 'restructure' club after my employer has gone through some downsizing activities. I've been paper trading for 3 years with decent success and had been planning to 'retire' in July...so the downsizing doesn't hurt my feeling considering a decent severance was included. I'm taking this opportunity to turn my retirement into career #2...day trader...so I will be going live in the next week or so. I've been paper trading in TOS through TD/Schwab for 3 years. I've been considering making a switch to IBKR and using DAS. I know this is a DAS/IBKR heavy community, so I wanted to get thoughts from folks who have used both TOS and DAS in the last couple of years. I'll be trading primarily Stocks, ETFs and Futures (beginning to study Options soon also, but haven't paper traded yet). Does making the switch make sense? Or should I stick to what I'm familiar with. Any watchouts with either choice? Any other thoughts? Sincere Thanks to all! I hope to get to know y'all very soon! TraderChris

I recently opened my account with IBKR and DAS. I currently have 100K of BP, but I noticed that I could not use all my buying power in a few stocks. For example, when AMC was trading at $30, I could only purchase 1,000 shares, using only 30,000 from the buying power I had available. This is confusing to me because I didn't have any restrictions in the simulator when using my full Buying power. Am I missing something? why do i suddenly have this restriction Thank you Henrique
