Stage 5 Trading - Posts: 152
Hi Traders,

Sorry for the delay. We had a holiday yesterday and I was out of the office.

That is correct, as long as the name and tax ID match from the IB account to the Stage 5 Trading account, you will be able to send funds directly from IB to Stage 5. I believe this is one of the easiest ways to fund your account.

I have been thinking to open an account with Stage 5 since last year. I actually have exchanged some emails with Michael Henderson about it and maybe the time is coming soon. - GREAT! We would love to have you!

If you don't mind, I would take the opportunity to ask you some questions: Of course, ask as many questions as you have so we can help you with your next steps as much as possible!

and $0.45 commissions on non micros plus exchange and regulatory fees.

1- Could you please inform exactly how much the total amount a NQ Futures contract would cost, including the current exchange and regulatory fees? $0.45 Clearing/Commission + $1.30 Exchange & NFA Fee = $1.75 per side & $3.50 per round turn ALL IN.

2- I remember when I asked Michael 1 year ago there was also a 0.10 cents fee per side for the order routing, charged by Sierra. Does this still apply with Teton? This charge no longer applies with Sierra Teton Order Routing!

3- I understand the margin can change each day but could you please give me an idea how much money will I need to have in an account with Stage 5 to be able to trade 10 NQ Futures contracts, considering the current margin these days? I would recommend funding with an amount you feel comfortable as risk capital. With that being said, you can trade 10 NQ with as little as $10,000 or $1,000 per contract. Personally, I would fund with 15 - 20k to trade 10 NQ, but it is certainly based on your individual risk tolerance.

4- I am an European citizen and live in Portugal. I currently have a trading account with IBIE (IB Ireland). Do you know if I can wire transfer funds directly from my IB account to Stage 5 (FCM)? Yes, you can!

Or will I have to transfer to my bank account first and then from my bank account to Stage 5 (FCM)? Transfer directly from IB would be my recommendation

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions or we can assist with anything further.

Thank you and have a great day!
