    Wire transfer out of TradeStation

    It is clear that he did not enough to cover the overnight margin balance, so he got liquidated. If he doesn't wish to divulge his balance, I don't blame him. Do you wish to reveal your balances?

    Wire transfer out of TradeStation

    Wire transfer out of TradeStation

    I would assume you could transfer the balance, minus the transfer fee. if you are set-up with ACH, you could transfer money to your bank, then on to IB and save the transfer fee. ACH is free. P.S. If you don't mind, why are you leaving TS?

    Tradestation: zero commission

    TradeStation is owned by Monex, out of Tokyo, Japan - not to be confused with Monex, the metals broker. Currently, TradeStation is Monex's best performing asset. TS earnings are up greatly while Monex Asia and their crypto biz are in the red. (p. 9)...
