Next, you'll need to establish the account. Enter the external account(s) you'd like to transfer funds or positions to. Then, follow these steps:

1. Choose the type of transfer you want to make from your Interactive Brokers account. You'll be able to select from:

2. After choosing the type of transfer you wish to make, follow the prompts and be sure to correctly enter the amount you wish to transfer to your external account.
