Bornready95 1 Posted July 16, 2021 I'm a new member here and looking to switch over to IBKR pro from TD Ameritrade. I am familiar with DAS just had a few questions in regards to switching. Is there an easy way to transfer funds from my TD brokerage to IBKR? Also as far as using DAS trader I know IBKR charges commissions on trades, by using DAS is the $150/mo fee all associated costs? Or are they charging commissions as well? Thank you for any insight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NikkiB 22 Posted July 16, 2021 It's the $150/month plus commissions (I use tiered). When I did it, I transferred my money from TD to my bank, and then from my bank to IB. I did the change about 9 months ago, so worth it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bornready95 1 Posted December 18, 2021 I've been using TD with DAS since July no issues. If you wanted to switch to IB I would just leave your long positions open with TD and move the cash over if you plan to daytrade, this way you have two accounts one for day trading one for swing/long positions. The only benefit I've head to IB is for shorting but you can short easy to short stocks in TD just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
