    I have yet to do an ACH with IB. I am used to the old wires and checks. However, I have ACH with Paypal hooked up to my checkings and it is free and simple as hell.

    I am assuming this ACH with IB is the same as Paypal's ACH transfers? If so I am going with it. Cheaper than wires and faster than checks.

    Did your money show up??????

    ACH from IB works great. take about 3 to 5 days(depends on bank) to get the money on your bank account. there is no fee on bank side for it and IB charge like a dollar per transfer, if you withdraw more than once a month.

  3. 3-5 days :confused: :confused: :confused:

    I made a withdrawal from my GCI account the other day and it was on my paypal account within 3 hours :)

  5. Hey IB. Im not using Booktrader to trade with but I do like to use it for DOM display rather than the other DOM but in the unarmed state its hard to see. I dont like to use it armed because of the possibility of accidents. I dont think Im the only one who wants to use the vertical dom display. Can we get another option?

  6. It's kinda scary though when your money is nowhere to be seen for a couple days during transit.

    i asked you a couple of pages ago on how to calculate margin

    I was refering to a futures option condor trade would take. (short a call and long a futher out call strike same month).

    there is no way to use the check margin trade. Also, i have to leg into this trade and can't enter it as a combo as i can on the regular index trade.

  9. talked to DAV almost 6months ago 'bout improvin' ib charts; makin' candles fatter'n'addin' a perimeter 'round 'em would be easier on da eyes.
    also on 2days charts [i mainly use this time frame] there's no hours at da bottom, would be nice if u could add 'em here as well.

    thx

    Ameritrade ACH only takes one day. You can use the money right away for trading as margin upon receiving. No fee, no limit per month. IB should improve this lagging area...
