100k Itu what restriction? Ic...

I tak paham... Now I stuck at funding IB account stage... If I fund liao, then transfer to Tradestation.... My IB how? Will kena charge every month? I gg oh...

i tot cheap ma no meh? cheapter than captrader oh...

so how ah? actually tradestation got caveat one right? must use IB (and pay monthly fee), then can only use tradestation.

Then like that, tradestation still cheap meh?

ic...so mafan i want use tradestation they send me back to IB account...now need fund IB first...

so u first fund IB account first right? then transfer to tradestation? coz i cant straight open tradestation

ic...so i just proceed fund IB lo.... hope like u say no monthly charge...

lol...i tot previously say no min?

Interactive Brokers = No min funding, first 3 months waiver on min fee. After that, subject to min $10/month or min $20/month if total asset under $2000. Can choose between fixed or tiered rates for commission based on trading size and volume.

TradeStation/CapTrader/other whitelabels = Introducing broker to Interactive Brokers (think buying a MAS ticket but flight is Cathay's), has their own min funding (0 or more), monthly fee (0 or more) and commission charge (marked up from what Interactive Brokers charges them). Behind the scene is all using Interactive Brokers.

I assume you want to open TradeStation for the friendlier commission rates? What do you plan to do with your holdings in CapTrader? Leave it there? Sell and buy again in TradeStation?

Instead of going through the whole min funding process again with TradeStation why not transfer your over holdings from CapTrader? That way you can keep whatever SXR8 you bought in CapTrader (without paying sell and buy commissions again) and accumulate CSPX USD/GBP from now on in TradeStation.

You could hit TradeStation support regarding moving over from CapTrader. Their rep will be happy to give you a call from London. I imagine it'll be an easy process since both are piggybacking on Interactive Brokers.

More like maintaining AUM >$2000, otherwise you'll be slapped with min commission $20 instead of the regular $10

We do not charge any account maintenance fee for any account that meets the following criteria:
Greater than 100,000 USD in average equity for a calendar month or
10 USD in commissions generated in a calendar month.

So how ah? Anyone use Tradestation and pay zero commission using IB platform?

But when I open Tradestation, it keeps sending me back to IB page asking for funding. I show u document later. I'm stuck at this stage. They say must fund IB account to activate first, then only can initiate account linking to Tradestation.

When I call Tradestation IB say how, they say can't bypass IB. I dun paham.

Very mafan compared to my captrader. Terus open je.

u see, i stuck at step 1.

Call tradestation, they ask me to call IB.

But I don't remember have an active IB account. Tak mungkin captrader?

then login IB (register one anyway), then bla bla bla say must funding....now can't login at all...

apu....

My account opening started by clicking OPEN AN ACCOUNT button here: https://www.tradestation-international.com/global/. From there on it's all Interactive Brokers. Yes it's confusing and worrying at the same time whether I signed up for IB or TradeStation.

Only after account approval and logging in Client Portal https://www.interactivebrokers.com.au/sso/L...tnerID=tsilib23 and navigating to Menu -> Statements -> Trade Confirmation I see black and white confirmation that my account is linked to TradeStation.

Yes using the same credentials I'm able to access all below. I've also set up IBKR mobile app as 2 factor authentication.

BlueStacks? I can't even do Google 2FA with it - I'm guessing it's missing some device ID crucial to identify it as a unique device

hi all Sifus, would like to know is it only IB and Captrader can link to SG Bank account? wanna save some bank charges when doing TT.

I hav an account with traderstation but cant link to SG Bank account. So the only way to fund is through wire transfer.
Or any cheap way to deposit fund?

IB, CapTrader, TradeStation all the same. For FAST transfer source from a SG bank you can create a Wire type deposit notification.

interactivebrokers.com -> top right Login -> Web Portal -> Transfer & Pay -> Transfer Funds -> Choose a New Deposit Method -> SGD -> Wire

It will display to you the account number unique to you, also make sure in transfer message to recipient you enter your account and/or your name

Thanks for your reply Ramjade and roarus, transfer in and out using FAST wont kena charge right?

I'm assuming specifically you're referring to S&P Dividend Aristocrats?

Not that I know of, quick search returned one that tracks the exact index by SSGA/SPDRS - which is likely the one you know.

Any reason you're looking for something that holds high yield USA stocks? Even at 15% rate, it's still a huge chunk of return withheld by Uncle Sam.
