Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Do I need a different account for each TD trading platform?

A1: No, you do not. With a single TD Direct Investing account, you can access and use all of the available platforms—WebBroker, the TD App, Advanced Dashboard, and TD Active Trader—at no extra cost. This allows you to choose the platform that best fits your trading style for a given session.

Q2: Can I trade foreign exchange (Forex) on the TD Direct Investing platforms?

A2: No. While TD as a bank offers foreign exchange services, the TD Direct Investing platform is not a forex trading platform for retail investors. Forex trading is handled by a separate division, TD Securities, which is primarily for commercial and corporate clients.
