Description

DAS Trader is an independent 3rd Party trading platform that connects directly to the DAS server and provides real-time market data for live trading and simulation.

DAS Trader connects to Interactive Brokers through an aggregate FIX connection for order placement. As such, they can be used to route orders to an IBKR PRO account with the same execution rate as client would expect directly.

There is no IBKR software that must be installed and no IBKR account configuration required by a client to link DAS to an IBKR account.

Please be aware that Interactive Brokers support cannot comment on the status of third party applications such as DAS Trader. For issues concerning any delays with your DAS Trader linkage application, please contact DAS Trader.
