Procedure
From the Manually Record Trades page, click the Other icon to access the Other - Record Transaction page. From this page, select Transfer by ID from the Action drop-down list. The Other - Record Transfer by ID Transaction page displays.

By default, that Action on this page is set to Transfer by ID. To change this, select a different transaction from the Action drop-down list. The fields that display depend on the transaction that is selected.
Enter the date of the transfer in the Transfer Date (mm/dd/yyyy) field. You can also click the Calendar icon and select the appropriate date from the calendar that displays.
Enter the symbol of the security in the Symbol field and select whether it is Long or Short. You can then click Verify to confirm that you have entered the correct symbol for the security.
Note: Once you click Verify, a grid displays at the bottom of the page (if there are lots available). This grid enables you to select specific shares to transfer between brokerage accounts.
Select the type of security from the Security Type drop-down list. By default, this field is set to Other.
Use the grid to select specific shares to transfer between brokerage accounts. Enter the number of shares to transfer in the Shares to Transfer field for the desired lot ID(s). To clear the entered lot information, click the Clear button.
