okay..  i checked in with the scottrade.. $500 is the minimum deposit.. so if we start off.. can we use that $500 for the transaction or.. it will just be the deposit on hold.. and any money beyond that amount would only be availabile for trade.. 

I am just a rookie who wants to know little more.. don't get irritated with my questions Veterans.. It might help others as well who would love to know something new ways to make money.. 

thanks in advance who would love to answer my question
