The least expensive would be to just have Scottrade send you a check on your cleared funds...if you live close to one of their offices, it shouldnt take that long.
Then go from there..
You can wire funds out, but it would prolly cost 20 bucks. Your bank may charge for an incoming wire as well...then another charge to wire to Choicetrade (assuming they even allow that, havent really checked)

I always said Scottrade sucks for pennies but no one listens... Choicetrade is always the better choice.. anyways go on Choicetrade's website.. you should find the answer there..

Does it cost any extra to put a stop limit on pennies?

careful when transfering broker to broker, paper work and lazy workers can get your funds forzen for weeks, wires are same day...checks are good too.

I'm just going to have Scottrade send me a check and them I'm going to E-check to Choicetrade.
By the time my paperwork reaches Choicetrade for the new account, I should be able to fund it.

If you opened your account up online, you should be good to go, if not papers could be for compliance to certain regs and Patriot Act. If this is the case you can generally start trading the account, if you don't turn those papers in they will restrict the account after a while though.

I wanted to change from Scottrade to Choicetrade, but Choicetrade doesn't operate in my state. Too bad. Maybe someday they will. The one thing I like about Scottrade is they have an office about 2 miles from me. I drop off a check and it posts to my account at about 1:00pm However, I liked the idea of using the ACH transfers to fund Choicetrade.
