For questions about funding your institutional account, call Institutional Account Services at 1-888-263-8348 or 954-652-7945.
By Wire Transfer By Check By Electronic Transfer

1 - By Wire Transfer
  You may transfer money electronically from one of your existing bank or brokerage accounts to your TradeStation Securities account. In most cases, this will be credited the following day, unless the transfer request is placed by your bank after 12:00p.m. ET, in which case funds will usually be available in two business days. TradeStation does not charge any fees for receiving wire transfers, though many banks and brokerages charge fees for sending them.
  Instructions: Please do not wire funds until your account is approved, and you have confirmed that the account is ready to receive a wire. These instructions apply to wiring U.S. currency only. For all incoming wires, the sending bank/firm must reference the title of your account from which the funds originated. Please note that the title of your TradeStation Securities account and the title of the account from which you are transferring funds must match exactly, or the transfer will not be valid.

3 - By Electronic Transfer
  You may electronically transfer cash and most securities from an account at another financial institution to most TradeStation Securities accounts (including IRA accounts). The time it takes to complete an electronic transfer of these assets depends on your financial institution. However, in most cases, it takes 2-3 weeks (for Equities accounts) and 1 week (for Futures accounts) to be completed.
  Important Note: The title of your TradeStation Securities account and the title of the account from which you are transferring funds must match exactly, or the transfer will not be valid. For example, you can transfer securities from one IRA to another IRA of the same kind with the same owner, but not from a non-retirement account to an IRA.
