May i know what document u submited for the proof of identity?
i uploaded my IC, however was rejected, stating it wasnt signed.

I recall submitting IC as well, mine is the new type with small black white photo if it helps in any way.

Update: Found the image - Submitted black and white version, crossed with "FOR INTERACTIVE BROKERS USE ONLY" on top left corner, front and back in a single image. Perhaps the signature behind is the one they want?

Yes. I submitted the document as they requested it won't get approved. Mine is the scan copy with colour. They just won't approve insisted for signed identity card

You can try again with your passport.

Do u sign on the document u send to them?
I tried with driving license and identity card.both failed

No pen signatures - only submitted IC and unifi bill. Both IC and unifi address same as current residential address.

Anyone know if the unrealized profit/loss in IBKR mobile app took account of commission? or no

I tried using the demo acc. It took accounr of the commission for ur order

Oh mean the profit u earned has deduct off commission
and the loss u make added in with commission

good at least dont need to do calculation on my own

IBKR has quite good reporting in the backend anyway which you can use (statements)

Good evening guys, this is my first time here

1. I’m interested to invest in US ETF. am wondering if there is any website that provides service to track a specific etf, something like ‘my watchlist’ in FSM that will notify me when my tracKed UT’s price reaches a certain price.

2. which platform do you guys normally use to buy etf ya? how about IB or etoro?

I have an account with SAMY, and planning to go a step further.

Thanks guys!

Avoid US based ETF unless you are a trader. Dividend tax for US is 30% vs 15% for Ireland domiciled ETF. I checked the price myself. No alert

Avoid etoro. etoro is for CFD. If you have no USD100k to spare or don't incur USD10/month in commision go with Whitelables of IB. Otherwise can go with pure IB if you have USD100k/month or incur USD10/month in commision.

Is CapTrader also link to Interactive Broker?
So all the application process is similar?
Any comparison between Captrader vs Tradestation?

Signature at the back? is that your signature or "ketua pengarah pendaftaran's ".
Anyway, i believe they wanted client's signature.

any update? Passport should work?

Mine's the ketua pengarah pendaftaran's signature. Don't see why they need your handwritten signature, their online forms signature requirement is just you typing your name in a textfield.

U signed at the side of ur photostated copy. It should work..
my application is still pending.. They are still precessing

the method above, wouldn't they comment that u may just "simply" create a signature and they are not able to verify it?
isn't it simpler to just provide them with Passport? Any issue for you to provide them with passport?

My passport is expired..LOL
No they are ok me just signing beside. the status for document proof is showing completed

Anyone can comment on the following S&P 500 ETFs?

this is distributing policy instead of accumulating, accumulating is usually preferable as dividend is straight reinvested.

CSPX:LN
CSP1:LN
SXR8:GR
these are the same ETF, just the different ticker and trade currency, it depends which currency u wanna hedge on i would say? and also might need to take note on the volume and spread size.
