Mind to share which are markets u can trade using the SCB trading platform ? is it limited to sgp exchange only or can trade other market as well ? are they all real time quote ?
As for the SCB online banking, how do u manage the TAC ? is it via Sms or Token or others ? do i need to own a sgp h/p number just to get the Tac for online banking purpose?
With SCB online I only trade SGX, but you can trade HK, most major European countries and US markets with it. Thus useful to for checking real time prices of certain counters there. I think it would be less taxing to do research on just one or two exchanges, but you may have more capacity than I. In fact I'd rather just trade stocks on the KLSE and nothing else, but just don't want my money sitting pretty in SG FDs which pays less than 1% /annum.
You can chose either TAC or a token device, both have pros and cons. You do not need a SG number. A Malaysian mobile works just as well.
Hope that answers your questions.
Though this thread is about REITs, and my original purpose was to buy just SG reits with SCB online, but today my SGX portfolio has less than 50% reits. I have around 30 counters and log in once a day to place my orders. I use TA indicators (RSI, stocRSI and MACD) to help me enter and exit a position. I must say than since starting SCB online about a month ago, I've earned (counting realised gains only) many times what SG FDs would have earned me in a year.
