Changing from DAS sim BearBull to DAS/IB

[Trader H 0]

I have funded and activated my account with Interactive Brokers and downloaded DAS with IB. I would now like to close/convert my DAS sim account and begin trading for real with the DAS/IB account/s.

 

How do I open the real DAS account? It keeps referring me to the orders account for the subscription which I have already paid. Do I first have to close the DAS account with BearBull (prefix VAN).

 

Hope this makes sense as I feel quite stymied. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Hilary

Just to update....

I emailed DAS Trader and they told me it is quite okay to have two DAS accounts, and to go ahead and install the account they set up for me.

So problem solved.

Trader H, when I successfully created my DAS/IB account, I downloaded the software per their instructions. Then I transferred my hotkey and layout files to the new installation folder (DAS Trader Pro). Afterward, I stopped using the DASTrader DEMO that I installed during my Bear Bull Traders 3-months simulator. The VANXXX account was expired anyway. Hope that clarifies things for any one stumbling upon this post.
