When can I start trading after funding my account?

Trading is enabled automatically once your account value reaches $500 and your exchange agreements are signed. There's no request to submit and no waiting on a review, the process runs on its own.

Most people sign their exchange agreements during account opening, so the funding is usually the only step left. If you skipped that step during account open, you can sign them in the Client Portal and trading will be enabled once they're complete.

Important:

• TZ1, ZeroFree and Mobile trading platforms are available as soon as your account is approved, even before you fund.
• Margin accounts generally require at least $2,000 in equity to trade on margin or sell short. This is a regulatory minimum that applies at every U.S. broker-dealer
