tats a good rate, can consider coz it's easier to do everything in one platform -at least for me 

I think if anyone concern about the commission, just switch to IB and use TD chart(free), thats the best rate available in the market. No need waste time negotiating with other brokers and no need to own a super big account with whatever VIP status 

IB do provide free data feeds, its just that its not live ticking data last i know. They push the chart screenshot to you on the time interval you set.

If you want free ticking data, TD is the only one that I come across that have huge historical data and excellent live data feeds considering it's free. And with all the good study and research tools 

You're trading ETF mid-long term right? So live ticking data shouldn't be a big concern to you?

P.S I have no business interest with either 

Ohh, does IB have something like data feeds fee waiver if you trade above "x" amount each month? I believe there is something like this 
If your strategy can meet that requirement maybe can consider?

Ohh btw, great effort with the ETF info 

Thank you, i have posted my question over the forex thread.

BTW is anyone getting crushed by /CL?

It seems commissions at IB (Interactive Brokers) is very cheap.. only $1 per 100 shares trade.
Wondering if there's any other hidden fees? Anyone knows?

er.. bro, not only fixed assets in US leh from what i read (direct from IRS' website & KPMG stuff).
Stocks too if held directly (ie. not via nominee accounts like HLeB, MBB, etc.) - unsure about stock options though    - 1 of the Qs i want answered by US estate tax expert when i find one within my budget 
Hopefully i understood wrongly.

Seems like SPY and DOW are consolidating.
If anyone got RM 100,000.00, you may earn monthly or quarterly income by writing options.

Thank U DanMoonCake for the advises
Yeah - i'm doing naked puts for 1 - 6 mths on "dividend aristocrats" & "challengers" when "fear" hits them
+ weeklies SPY, SPX/SPXPM, IWM, QQQ, for income purposes.

Dividend investing for US is tough based on the 30% withholding + if i want to get back the 15%, read had to "jump through a few hoops" - lazy 
I'd rather just do SGX as it's 0% withholding 

You guys are lucky.. at least can still tax free for capital gains. I get whacked by IRS every year.
Next week is April 15th... get whacked again! 

My contracts' sizing are based on the strike prices i sell the naked Puts at.
Ranges from 3 to 8 contracts usually - only have enough for that to sustain 6 to 8 open positions

futures +ve, oil flat, china up 3%, rm <3.57.
gotta look hard at fxi!

still looking at the charts n numbers.

wat's yr take?

bloodbath at the doorstep.
get yr cash ready if u dare!

LOL.. how can your positions be the reverse, unless you are so lucky as to be able to short

? sounds interesting. can you please guide or explain a bit about how to get there? thanks

bro, you are an owl!

Meh your commissions must be really low.. not even 1% swing you can make money

But, how do i get to the application page to set up my portfolio?
