EEK !
I hope it works out for you, I would be nervous too, but I have had to wait more than 3 days before so don't get to freaked out just yet.

While anything can of course happen, your post is quite alarmist, and things 'sounding' like MFG is at this point an unsubstantiated stretch IMO. Not sure if you have received wires from them, but mine usually arrive within 3-4 days. I presume you've checked the customer portal to see it's on it's way. JPM BTW is their bank where the segregated money is always 'held'; from what I know, JPM holds the funds for a large amount of futures brokerages. Do keep us updated on hopefully a good conclusion. While they can sometimes be spotty in response, they do have 30+ folks on staff. If you have a serious concern, you should be able to get to the president Dan Culp and find out what's up, but I'd hope and expect that within the next day or two all is well for you.

Wire transfers overseas (as it sounds like) are always difficult.

masaleem, I think this will illevate your concern: USA Patriot Act

How much money was it? (You don't have to say specifically or at all - allot/little?)

@patbateman

That's the first time I have seen the Patriot Act quoted to alleviate concerns.....

@masaleem1

Check with an officer at your bank. They can track the wire for you.

I have wired more than $10,000 thru JPM. Normally as long as I get it in before the cutoff time the receiving bank can "see" the money the next business day. When they actually credit to the account will vary by bank.

I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

My daddy always said, "Every day above ground is a good day!"

I was thinking of opening an account with them shortly. I will be watching this thread with great interest. Suffice to say the guys I send to "collect" my money? it will hurt..
