Elana Trading uses SaxoBank as it's broker for global markets, so they charge an extortionate $1000(US) to DRS transfer.
As it's the highest fee to DRS transfer, this guide focuses on transferring to a broker that can DRS transfer for less. Elana Trading offers broker to broker transfers for just 12BGN + %1 of the market value of the assets being transferred. Although they may use Saxo Bank's fees for non-Bulgarian stocks, in which case it is €25 per transfer (recently Saxo increased this in Belgium to a €75 fee).
A popular route to transfer shares from Elana Trading to Computershare has been through Interactive Brokers (IBKR).
The quickest way is to open an IBKR account, buy a share, and request a DRS transfer (link to guide here). While you wait for your Computershare account to be created, you can transfer your shares from Elana Trading to IBKR with a Basic FOP Transfer (12BGN +1%, or €25 fee), then from IBKR to Computershare via DRS transfer for a $5(US) fee.
How to Transfer:
Once your shares and BGN are settled in Elana Trading, you need to initiate the Basic FOP transfer at IBKR and then send an email with a signed transfer form generated by IBKR to Elana Trading.
Login to your IBKR account, and click on “Transfer & Pay” from the top menu and select “Transfer Positions”:
