Looking for an IB for Wedbush / well capitalized firm for trading futures

Hi,

I would like to open account with Wedbush, what are the:

1) Recommendations for an Introducing broker
2) Minimum requirement to open an account
3) Will be trading options / futures ?
4) How long does it take to process an application ?
5) Can I wire from my Interactive broker account to the account or it has to be direct from my bank account?
6) (Optional) Would be great if I can trade futures / options in the Asian region.

I am planning to do spreads / synthetic spreads.
Still evaluating the platform - either TT / CQG

Drop me a message or ping me. Willing to have a chat.

 

Bob, 30 minutes and no comment? You are off your game!

 

To add, most of the time, I would be trading US futures. (Most important point)

 

I almost posted the same thing 5 mins into this thread.

I wonder if OP has a PM yet.

Also, for OP, can I ask your reasons for leaving Interactive Broker?

 

strange, i didn't disable my PMs and am not getting any.

 

I said that tongue-in-cheek...Bob will be in here soon enough. Fear not!

 

I'm not leaving Interactive broker... just transferring majority of the cash from there.
Planning to get ETFs later

Main reasons:
1) To take advantage of margins for trading exchange traded spreads
2) Execution of synthetic / spread orders seems to be lagging for futures, am exploring other tools, but it does not work with Interactive broker, e.g. TT / CQG / CTS T4 etc. Closing the trade for synthetic spreads seems clunky on Interactive broker

Now that I think about it, I might trade options from Interactive broker and futures on this new account.

 

Thanks

 

Optimus clears Wedbush and has the platforms you want. I am not a customer, but they seem to have very low commissions. (Lower than IB). @MattZ is on here a lot - he is with them.

 

Cool... Even RJO would be great for me. Any reason why someone would chose Wedbush over RJO?
