I have been working with paper trading the last few weeks on my Alpaca account. I got my python trading script working pretty good with great results. Is it possible to transfer my Wells Fargo IRA account to my Alpaca account? If the answer is yes. Can it be done staying in the IRA form so I am not taxed on the money I transfer out of Wells Fargo? Is there anyone at Alpaca I can talk to about this?

@ezra Currently Alpaca doesn’t offer IRA accounts. You wouldn’t be able to transfer an IRA account from another broker.
