Yes Carlos, I am still setting up the ACH for those purposes. They even suggested the same thing when I called ST, but wiring is an option for initial funding that happens immediately. Be sure to follow the wire instructions provided on ST website.

Speedtrader does not have MU shares for short!

Just thought to mention, I am pretty sure that ST has a minimum $2 per trade, when choosing the fee per trade option, where IB only has a $1. This difference may be come into play when trading max 1000 shares and scaling out. I also chose to wire the money to ST instead of ACH. It only cost $10 and the money was in the acct the next day. After signing up, it took about 5 business days and I am active now. Still don't know if IB would be better but the free Platform and $500 promotion was too good to pass up!

Hello all, I have noticed that the minimum trade for the BearBull Traders promo is still $2 per trade. As IB minimum is $1, this would actually be double the amount of commissions if you scale out accordingly. Is this correct?
