Grizz, I also use Scottrade. If you deposit a check at a branch office, your funds will be available at the end of business that same day. The 3 day wait is on bank transfers. (electronic deposit from bank to broker) Scott also charges 0.5% on trades under $4.00 per share. Never had any trouble with them......so far. Hope this helps you.
I just hang out here for the fun of it, that doesn't mean I'm smart.
