Link My Existing Account to an Advisor/Broker

The following rules apply to this type of linking:

• You will transfer all of your cash and positions to an Advisor/Broker-managed account.
• If you move your entire account to an Advisor, you will no longer be able to log into Trader Workstation, and your current market data subscriptions will be canceled.
• If you move your entire account to a Broker, you will still be able to log into Trader Workstation, and your current market data subscriptions will not be canceled.
• Once your account has been moved, fees may be debited from my account as specified by the Advisor or Broker.
• Accounts are moved every business day after 3 PM EST.
