Back to your 'old' reply.... before the lockdown... lol

1. Most offer charting software... but not all the same.
Some is really 'useless' la...
and some system is not even reliable and they offer terrible 'service'....
some has teething problems whenever one banks in or withdraws......
so....the cheapest brokerage house might not necessary offer you the best option....
2. When I trade, making money is much more important than saving money.
Cheap trades seduces and teaches one to embark a much riskier trading style - ie one is seduced to trade for scraps.
This is not to say such trading does not work, in fact some really good traders can make a good living on such scraps....
but the majority mati katak one....
cos it induces poor trading decisions...
the trader usually takes the small profits when instead they could have had a nice 'jackpot' of a winning trade....
they sell cos they got the easy option offered by cheap brokerage, hence ruining their big winning trades....
and trading more often does not necessary equates to a better trading strategy....
which is why I said cheap does not guarantee one winning (as in long term)

anyway... poison is always subjective la.... 
to each their own....

My comments are just random...
Just give a good thought and wish you the best in your trading.

Don't rush to be in this game....
Know who you are yourself thoroughly....

Cheers

Your computation is wrong...stamp duty only RM1 per RM1,000, so since less than RM1000, stamp duty only RM1. U have not factored clearing fee in at 0.03% (have to also incl 6% GST, so it's 0.0318%. Stamp duty no GET but brokerage got.
So it's -
CIMB - 29.68 + 1 + 0.06 = 30.74
HL - 8.48 + 1 + 0.06 = 9.46
AB - 6.36 + 1 + 0.06 = 7.42.

Yes, U also have to pay the usual brokerage + stamp duty + clearing fee when U sell. So your share has to go up to above RM2.60 for CIMB, RM2.20 for HL and RM2.15 for AB B4 U can even think of selling to make a profit.

Anyway, no issue for me using AB as to depositing and withdrawal as I use my AmBank savings ac to deposit and withdraw online. If I want to buy shares today, I'll just have to login to my trading ac and make an on9 transfer from my AB ac to my trading ac B4 8am, and then I can start buying stock on that day itself. I just need to login to my trading ac to make a withdrawal to my AB savings ac B4 about 9am and the funds will be depoisted to my savings ac by about noon. I've been using AmeSecurities for about 2 yrs already and have yet to encounter any major problem. Also their customer service is good; u can call them directly or send an email.
