This whole thing is just stupid. There are withdrawl rules and restrictions on trading with newly deposited funds. If those rules are not followed please let us know ASAP. If they are followed (or you don't know the rules) go back to the Yahoo forums.
What's wrong with IB?

I wired in the money this Monday morning and it showed up in my account this Monday morning too.
Sounds like there are two issues:
1. IB wouldn't let you trade immediately.
2. IB wouldn't return your funds until the holding period is over.
#2 is clearly stated, complaining isn't going to make it better and makes you look stupid. If you don't agree to the holding period, don't send the cash. And "I didn't know" is a poor excuse when money is involved.
#1 is the real issue, did you get an explanation why you couldn't trade? If so what was it? If not, call them and ask. Maybe you hadn't configured trading permissions?
Many people said Ted Bundy is a serial killer. He certainly didn't kill me
Yes. All of sudden I get a job with IB so I can defend them from an absolutely ignorant post and more ignorant co-post.
Find another broker moron.
And moron Jr. (ted), french fries are done...back to work.

Let's hear why he couldn't trade immediately. Maybe he hadn't set up market permissions?
I'm sure IB is making all their profits on the 2 days of interest on his $4000. He should ask for a credit of the 3 cents.
