I would suggest you read back our previous replies as we had address many times. If you do not wish to do some homework before participating in this very dynamic market, then good luck!

KP,

I trade both common stocks and options. Feel free to post your questions on options.

As for money transfer, the fastest way is via Wire transfer (using SWIFT code) to your US brokerage bank account.

But, if you are not in hurry, cheapest way is mail a bank draft or cheque (in USD) to your US broker via regular post.
Takes 10-12 days to get there, take another 7-10 days to clear. Use cheque from Bank of America, Citibank, HSBC, for faster clearance.

I play weeklies if I want to day trade. Monthly if I want to position trade.
Leaps if I am bullish on the stock much longer term (eg. AAPL). 

For weeklies, I usually sell 'em.

This week, I sold LVS calls and puts which expire this Friday.  It is working because it is melting away.. 

But, if the market stays still.. I will lose 'coz my option will burn. 

I had just TT'ed some money into my MB Trading account. Fill in the Maybank TT form accordingly and hand them to the counter, pls remember if the amount is more than RM10k equivalent, you hv to TT from your home branch account, if not generally they won't allow you to do so, unless special customers perhaps like premier, vip and etc...

Following is an example of TT'ing into MB Trading which I would say not much difference with OptionXpress.

Their company name "Penson Financial Services, Inc" which has an account with JP Morgan (066-6-00030). Leave a remarks especially ur name and acct number with them. When you TT'ed into their JP Morgan account, internally they will channel the funds into your individual account given by them. 066-6-00030 is a master/general account of MB Trading.

Will there be same problems with TT the money back ? and next thing is that isit OptionsXpress nice ? Any hidden fees involved ? i googled and OX claimed they dont have inactive fee nor maintenance fee . I did bumped into US stock dicussion V1  , but i still cant make up my mind .. for 2012 now , what will be best brokers that u all sifu recommend me ? I am not an active trader tho ... But maybe will be one in future.. Any helps will be greatly appreciated

Nope, I've been monitoring the pomo events. Nothing much...
Suspect it is something else.  10% drop from high - in correction territory. $Vix should in 19 already but it isn't.

Perhaps it's the slow melt with low volume doesn't spike this thing.
