DAS Trader is an independent, third party trading platform that connects directly to the DAS server. From there, DAS connects to IBKR through an aggregate FIX connection for order placement. As such, they can be used to route orders to an IBKR PRO Account only. 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. To initiate the linking of the DAS Trader platform, please contact DAS directly.
In case you have already completed the linking and you are required to enter IBKR's "Firm ID" on the DAS Trader platform, please enter: "IBCO".
Market data for the DAS Trader platform is also supplied directly from DAS and not from IBKR. DAS Trader can be used with either the paper trading account or the real account.
Please Note
- Interactive Brokers provides its own data as well. Once you open an IBKR PRO Account, if you intend to use any of IBKR's trading platforms you can subscribe to market data to enable real time quotes.
