I didn't receive any freebies when they verified me

Hi all,

just for information, if anyone interested to invest in ETF there's another way you can invest, either using your pension fund(KWXP) or cash (minimum is 50K)

As for example, if invest in Phillip Global Wrap Account (we are using PhillipCapital platform) you can invest in fund like MyETF Dow Jones U.S. Titans 50 (MyETF-US50) which the top 10 holdings is Microsoft, Amazon, facebook and more...

to know more you can PM me

Damn bloody expensive. I can do the same by just incurring 0.07% charges.

Hmm,... looks like not too many positive things abt using KWSP to invest into ETFs here. Tq for the feedback, bros,...

Can we straight instarem to fund TradeStation?

as per below, not sure if I am doing it correctly.

then third step: instarem to the shown account of CITYBANK
as previously enquired the TradeStation CS mentioned that we can only use our own bank with our name to do funding. 

Okay guys, here is the result of my experiment of bringing back monies from CapTrader (EUR) to Maybank account (MYR).

Used CapTrader to transfer my EUR cash (leftover after buying VWRL in AEB) to TransferWise's EUR account. Transaction fee is zero.

Transferred EUR to my MBB account from TW, total transaction fee about 0.973% which includes TW's fee of EUR 8.21 (0.821% out of EUR 1000) and forex loss of 0.152% (TW's 4.60484 vs 4.61183 EUR-MYR rate).

Received my money in my MBB account within 3 days from CapTrader. I compared with converting other currencies (SGD and USD) in TW to MYR and they differ quite a lot, with EUR-MYR being the cheapest.
What do you think of the cost to bring back the monies from IB/CapTrader? Is 1% too much? Do you have cheaper ways?
PS: I found that my Ireland-domiciled ETF, VWRL bought in AEB (EUR currency) gives me the dividend in USD. Since my shares are still little thus my dividend is very little, converting USD to EUR to buy back the ETF is too expensive (EUR 4 in IB). Jokes on me.

Tradestation offer cheaper price than captrader and tradestation have access to SG market while captrader don't have.

Thank you for your guidance.  I have managed to transfer to Captrader via FAST just now. It's free indeed 

Yes cheaper. See the price yourself.

You can still do your regular MYR -> EUR via Instarem / buy SXR8.

Since TradeStation and CapTrader are both Interactive Brokers whitelabels/introducing broker, I'm expecting the bank given to transfer EUR to be the same, just different account number - Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited / CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS DEUTSCHLAND. That's what I see from punching in a deposit notification for EUR currency under TradeStation.

alexkos got MYR Instarem -> EUR Captrader to work, perhaps the key is how you enter the fields in the deposit notification? Was your funding account bank Citibank Germany?

I think this is old news. Which mean no need to cough up USD10k upfront. Just that the USD100k still maintain.

Open an IB account, buy ur fav etf for the first 3 months with lower charged. First 3months IB wont charge u platform fees.
Then transfer all your holding into tradestation global.

Please la. Just use one. You already got Captrader. Why so greedy want to open so many IB account for what?

Again pick one lo. When you sign up with so many, you don't know where to put your money. When you sign up with Tradestation you get access to IB. Of course this IB you get is not pure IB. Is the Trade version of IB. How I know? There's no tiered commission to select. 

I pick tradestation for 3 reason
1) I want UK company vs German company
2) I need access to SG market
3) Cheaper
