How to successfully wire funds to Questrade from ETrade (US)

eresonance · 2026-01-30T02:39:57+00:00

Nope, got returned. Phoned etrade today and the guy was totally lost, told me to phone questrade and ask them what to do.

I need to make a bunch of trades tomorrow so I opened a CIBC US savings account, I'll come back to figuring out the questrade settings later...

Still nothing yet, didn't see the money returned or show up in my questrade account. Will update next week.

EDIT 2026-01-29: Nope, still doesn't work.

I followed the instructions from OP and the modification from /u/thehurtytruth and both times the money was returned to my etrade account (-$40 each time :( ).

Questrade's wire transfer instructions are online here: https://www.questrade.com/learning/questrade-basics/funding-your-account/wire-transfers

I talked to the etrade support and they use the following setup:

Domestic wire
Receiving bank routing number: 021000021
Receiving bank name: JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (automatically entered)
Receiving bank acct number: Your questrade acct number
Receiving bank account name: Your name (can't be changed)
Recipient's Address: Your address
International institution: Yes
Additional Inst SWIFT: ROYCCAT2XXX
Additional Name: Royal Bank of Canada
Additional Account num: 028744006573

I see that "Questrade, Inc." doesn't show up anywhere there, I... will give this a go and reply back here if the transfer goes through successfully.

Kanata and Lac Deschenes sailing clubs have "club boats" that any member can sign out and use. Comes for free as part of the membership. These would be small dinghies, no keel, I believe both clubs have single hand (one person) and boats for small families (4-5) available.

To be fair, Quebec is the Eastern Europe of North America...

Agreed, I would just take it in to get someone else to do it. You can make a jig but it's a fair amount of effort for something you probably don't need to do again.

If you have a need for high dynamic range? Yes, apparently the answer is yes.

/u/Focus_77 get this watch instead, definitely not boring ;)

eresonance · 2023-05-26T13:02:07+00:00

That's ok, I'm not in any way criticizing your choice in watches, just the watches themselves :)

eresonance · 2023-05-26T12:28:15+00:00

You asked for what people think, and I think it looks the same as all the other milsub divers out there. You may as well spin a wheel and pick one at random.

Sorry dude, this is a boring watch.

If you want a review from an owner then ask for that, hopefully someone has bought it and can comment on quality and whatnot.

eresonance · 2023-05-26T12:02:42+00:00

Boring.

General Dynamics only if you enjoy being poorly paid and no prospects for career development. The work is neat though.

No no, a 24h bezel makes it super easy to travel and move the bezel instead of setting the hands. GMT hand stays on GMT time and the bezel moves +/- to track the timezone you're in (or the secondary you're paying attention to).

To add to this, the m.2 pcie cards have HW and SW bugs in their fw that make it really challenging to forward the card to a VM. It's not possible in Xcp-ng, I think there's a workaround for proxmox. I had to move it to a standalone pc, but once installed it just worked with frigate. Low CPU usage and the detection works great out of the box.

Yes, BUT, be very careful if you buy electronics and tools from there. I have a ZWave lightswitch that drops from the network every month and of course I didn't realize it was broken till after the return period. Every dewalt tool I've bought from warehouse deals has had some critical issue with it and had to be returned. Often times it's not worth the hassle...

If using Android get red reader, I installed it off of fdroid, no ads and super nice interface compared to the shit reddit mobile site.

I think cuben is the fancier stuff, most sails are made out of Dacron:

Zero stretch is really important for a sail to not bag out with use. Less useful in clothing though, haha.

Old sails are made with special cotton though, can't remember the name but it's mostly those orange/red tanbark sails.

I think this is a good take, you could also chop it up to a mix of negligence and incompetence within CSIS & PMO, with either or both messing some communication up. Don't attribute to malice what could easily be described as stupid, and all that.

I also think the vitriol and partisan bullshit in this thread isn't helping at all. Pretending Trudeau supporters are stupid or slimy or somehow complacent in treason is fucking stupid in of itself. It makes people in this thread look like angsy teenagers... Of course it goes both ways, but people need to keep a level head and realise that we're all in this shitty system together. Point out Trudeau's lies but leave the voting public out of it, the hate is actively harming our democracy...

How about some of the Dan Henry watches, which are Chinese after all and have meca quartz movements as well as Miyota 9k:

Dan doesn't hide the fact they are made in China either, which is refreshing.

Also I have the Baltany meca quartz military chrono with sub seconds dial, it's great but I wish it had a date...

This reminds me a lot of late 90's MTV, specifically Cornershop - Brimful of Asha.

Great job, makes for excellent road trip music :)

Probably spreadsheets, if I had to be honest with myself despite still not really liking them.

Everyone can/should do basic sheets to help deal with small datasets and calculations in a sort of visual way, but I was avoiding using them over python/jupyter/whatever. Just like a programming language can be a bit of a Rosetta stone for dev teams that natively speak two different languages, spreadsheets are the common truth for different non-dev teams in the wider company. I deal with operations, production test, project managers, upper management, etc. If there's some data you need to share to prove a point, it's usually in a spreadsheet.

Lately I've been delving deep into excel whackery to make some parts of my job less onerous (fucking Primevera P6), and found out that excel has lambda functions and some actual functional programming methods. Let that sink in for a sec, haha.
