@Arbi717 You can't really avoid it. My advice is to save up $500 more to short and focus on the best plays. I made a blog about this if you're interested http://profit.ly/user/StarSeedz/blog/tho-thos

Thanks. I appreciate the advice. Perhaps I should hang on for a few months and start with a larger sum.

I did a international money transfer, I from Australia was easy.(It took a couple of days for it to clear).

Mine just cleared and took about a week.
