may i know how to include my Firstrade Account Name & Firstrade Account no.  into the TT form as i went to Hong Leong Bank just now and the officer told me that the TT form provided by them cannot include my Firstrade account no. and Firstrade Account Name.

Therefore i still unable to TT the money yet.
Pls Help...
Below is what required by the Firstrade:

*Important: When wiring funds from your bank into your Firstrade account, the wire must include your Firstrade account number and account name. If your account number and name are not on the wire, Ridge Clearing cannot accept the wire.

the lesser the commision...the more you can earn fr yr trading...even if the stock go up by a few cents...u can still earn...becoz yr commission is low!

i am using 1st trade...the commision is 6.95 per trade...i still think this is quite expensive...if i can get a cheaper i will...

i heard ib...charge like usd1 per trade...but u need 2 pump in usd10k...if i am not mistake...
