  1. they told me that even though both accounts show up on the platform in order for me to switch money back and forth i would have to send it like a wire and its not instant. its no different than a normal wire to any bank. i also really dont care about the accounts being on the same platform, i want access to all of my money combined at an instant you know. if i have to do a wire anyway i would rather just wire back and forth between interactive brokers and Globel futures

  2. Or you just have an account for futures and one for stocks.

    Problem solved.

  3. You'd be nuts to be using $500 dt margins in this market.
