Under Karen’s leadership DASTrader.com is the only service bureau and technology provider to have achieved the highest level of partnership with both exchanges.

Teaming up with
Integrated Network
Founder, InvestorsLive & InvestorsUnderground
DAS Trader is by far the most robust trading platform out there. I’ve used this tool every day trading since 2003. I’ve compared it to many others out there and it always stands out as the fastest! The team has been helpful and listen to any and all suggestions to continually make this software better! Great team, great people and highly recommend this to ANY serious traders! (Not to mention they have by far the most incredible mobile app on the planet)
I have been pleased with the online trading platform and very pleased with the customer service I’ve received so far.
Founder and Managing Director, The Stock Whisperer Trading Company
Over the past 20 years I tried and tested numerous trading platforms and I have to say that the DAS Trader Pro is by far the best platform. What I like most about this platform beside being simple to use, is the ease of zooming in and out of my charts along with the drawing tools that help me find the best support and resistance levels. I share my screen all day teaching thousands of students how to day trade and swing trade using this platform at www.thestockwhisperer.com Other great features include the top 20 list, the ECN book and the multiple time and sales windows. I highly recommend this product.
Founder, Bear Bull Traders
It has been over 5 weeks that I am using DAS Pro, and I must say I had the best customer service ever for services I have ever purchased or subscribed. I sent a lot of questions (many of them dumb) and problems to Support team, and less than 5 min I was always had my problems solved/answers in my inbox. Great success in any product/services is when the customer does not feel stupid or ashamed of contacting support team. This is my case. -Vancouver, Canada
President and CEO, Cobra Trading, Inc.
We offer DAS for both our Cobra Trading and Venom Trading clients. The platform is great for beginners and veterans alike. It offers tremendous value and ease of use, while offering a host of features such as advanced charting, mobile trading and a short locate monitor window.
I've used several different platforms throughout my years of trading and can confidently say DAS is my recommended go to solution. With the intuitive light weight design, superior execution speeds, robust hotkey scripting and an amazing support staff, there is no better tool to use other than DAS. Why use anything else? - British Columbia, Canada.
Founder, Madaz Money
I have been using DAS Trader Pro for over 6 years and counting as my platform of choice to attack the markets. It’s simple, reliable, easy to use, user friendly interface as well as its multitude of functionality. It gives me all the tools I need to succeed as a trader.
My Investing Club
Being a user of DAS for more than 5 years I can confidently say that I am here to stay! With the wonderful easy to implement layout, customizable features, and functionality tailored to the everyday day-trader, it is a must have for anyone trading the stock market. DAS is a system designed for traders of all levels because of the ease of use, routes, charting, level 2 boxes and more. DAS has me as a customer for life.
The Humbled Trader
I have been using DAS Trader Pro for over 5 years now, and it's been absolutely essential in my daily trading strategies. The speed and order executions allow me to perform my trade set ups at the highest level. I have multiple brokers connected their platform and I highly recommend other up and coming traders to do the same!
DAS is a great platform, it's superfast and has all the tools required to be a successful trader. And the folks at DAS are very consistent with adding new features to the software and quite a bit of those new features are based on feedback from the user community. But what's even better than the platform itself, is the quality of support from the company. I can't recall ever an instance where I reached out to their support team and didn't get a response from them in less than an hour or two. Their support team is simply awesome. Wish there was a way to give them 6 out of 5 stars. - Miami, FL.
I just coordinated with the DAS support team and am impressed to see how they treat their customers, not just as a customer, but helping them out as their own family members. – Punjab, Pakistan.
I must say that when i was in need of help, one of your technical advisers came through and put in the time to sort all of my issues out. I had some computer issues and platform issues i needed looking at. I did not expect this kind of service, but am really happy that i reached out to you. Thank you for the excellent service and a big thanks to the DAS support team for helping me out! – Forsby, Sweden.
I just received assistance from DAS Support on an issue that was efficiently handled. I also had my DAS platform and hotkeys explained and organized for me. I really was taken away by the help and service I had to write you an email. – Korea
I have used DAS Trader for many years now and have referred many of my colleagues to your trading platform. Yes your product is of quality and does what we expect with trading but the MOST important aspect of a product is it’s support system. You’re staff that we rely on when we have questions, technical issues or problems. There are a ton of trading platforms on the market out there but as a financial analyst for a large institution I ALWAYS recommend your product! -Denver, CO.
I’ve been trading for a bit over two years, and having used other platforms I can certainly say that DAS is the best - you will not get better execution speed anywhere else. What really makes DAS on another level though is the excellent amount of support I’ve received from them - anytime I had an issue or question, it almost always gets sorted out in less than an hour. DAS takes care of you as a customer, and I value that! - Chicago, IL.
I use DAS for three reasons: 1. With them I have the best hotkeys ever. My buy-hotkey buys shares for an amount of money that I've predetermined, so I don't have to calculate each time how many shares I should buy. It's price-limit is not defined in cent, but in percent of the price - it makes no sense to have a limit of let's say 10 cent both for a 30-dollar and a 300-dollar share. As soon as it's executed, it triggers a stop-loss that trails the price - also at a percentage of the price and not at a fixed number. 2. I only trade at the open, and I can practice this in replay-mode from morning till evening. 3. the support of my counterpart Jason is immediate, committed, and endlessly patient. Without that, I'd be lost. - Mannheim, Germany
I have been using DAS since 2018 and I have to say the tools and set up are very user friendly and simple to navigate. I never traded with any other platform and to be honest I don't think I will. Almost everyone in my trading community uses DAS and never heard anyone complain. I would also like to add that the customer service is exceptional! They are on point with response time and ready to assist with any issues. The tutorial videos are easy to follow and very detailed. I give this this platform a A+ and hands down recommend it to anyone who is interested in trading. - NY, NY.
