May be need to interpret those words correctly. many Malaysian have mis-understanding. In Malaysia banking, solely "forex" word normally means money conversion (change money, not MT4 trading) with 1 to 1 without any leverage, but "forex trading" is the MT4 trading with leverage. But this time I not sure what the "forex" word mean "change money" or "Mt4 trading"

IgoFX and a few more is registered at Vanuatu and is under Monetary Authority of Singapore's watchlist.
at Vanuatu, u can register to get forex broker license for around USD2k

there are plenty of unknown broker with fishy background popping out recently.

One of the trick is company register to get license at the beginning. then do de-register after obtained license, and use the old license to claim they are registered in legal way. because the government database system is updated slower, public don't know the license they saw has been de-registered.

you mean WTICOUSD? So far i traded it and i didn't notice there's expiry date on it. It does has closing session though everyday for 1 hour before it reopens. You can ask the OANDA live chat for more accurate info though.
*
Do you have experience to open the trade for many overnights for WTI ? some broker will do auto-closed on one specified day in a month (let say MT4 time 00:00 at 18 Nov), not everyday. But it is good to clearly find out the info before trade.

Good info. Ure probably right.

But could you explain why is trading on demo accounts considered to be not good and what risk will I potentially face?
*
From the price viewpoint, let say EURUSD, the price in EURUSD for demo account has a little different than the EURUSD in real account, especially in news release time, because the servers lag time are different. But this is not big problem. If the method is working well, slightly a few pips different won't degrade the significant performance after long term average.

In fact, the endowment effect (one of the psychology element) of trader are different form demo account and real account players. If they trade in demo, they did not own or loss something in real, so the heart will no pain or suffer so much. Most of the time, they trade with calm mind.

However, if they trade in real account and loss money, their pain is 2x than the amount of loss. This means if u loss USD 100, ur heart pain is equivalent to u loss in USD200. In this case, trader probably wish to do something more risky next time in order to gain back the loss money. They are much willing to risk next time. Or probably suicide /depressed (because too much pain in heart) after loss very large of amount.

In another situation, if he win money in real account, he probably get the happiness that is 1x the amount of win. This means u win USD100 is same level of happiness that u win USD100 (not USD200). In return in action, trader probably is trying to avoid risk and close the trade which has little profit (but have not hit TP). At the end, trader is not do what he planned earlier.

That is why u probably find ppl say that "trade in demo account can win, but trade in real account cannot win". Risk levels are different in demo and real account due to ownership condition are different.

30 min is the sudden big swing, but the preparation move can lasts for 3days.

u see slow climb abnormal move before FOMC meeting or yellen speech

and usually they move the swing away from key price levels.

now all the robots are using key words to front run everything.
those CentralBankers said wrong thing within miliseconds it move 100pips.
no humans can trade like that

THE $25 is only 1 time handling fee. no annual fees.

Apparently there have been some changes bout the withdrawal fees... need top update about these fees. Another cheaper way is Payoneer. Is there any1 using payoneer here?
*
I used payoneer before, but it no longer work for Malaysia after the GST date last year. The application fee and charges just paid and get for nothing now.

Based on my experience, those withdraw methods are changing from time to time, you cannot rely on solely one method forever. Just need to be sensitive to relevant news. Forget about the small charges or fees because methods are always changing.

Single most important creteria.... u need to look at the deposit and withdrawal speed.

any hiccups from the local bank if you plan to deposit fast to fund your forex account (maybe due to low margin)?

any delay/rejection by the banks to hold your incoming funds from the broker or not?

we as traders do not want unnecessary problem/delay in deposit/withdrawal...

slippage and spread is secondary importance.

Do you know about the withdrawn from Oanda Singapore ? Will it be blocked by bank ?

Hello all, have some newbie questions on non-market stuff.

Regarding the profits you guys make, do you guys declare as investment income abroad? Just curious because if you want to repatriate/bring back your money and you have periodic or lump sum money coming in to your domestic accounts from Cyprus or wherever your broker is without reporting, surely eventually tax or AMLA flers will come knocking? I'd assume the method to calculate would be to take year end account balance minus the year's beginning account balance, equals your investment income?

I previously opened an account with hotforex but burned through it on a stupid action some time back - now hopefully I know better and am looking to dip back in (but USDMYR much more painful now to buy in...).

Appreciate any help you guys could provide on this matter. Happy trading!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_gains_tax#Malaysia

In fact, tax is a small matter if you really got a large profit and Malaysia does not have capital gain tax. If want a confirmed answer, you can bring your statement and whatever written document to lawyer and accounting firms that normally handle tax issue to seek consultant. Let say, if you can make a profit of USD100k, why need to care to pay a few hundred in RM for consultant fee.

I much more curious on how can you bank-in your money to bank without being blocked by BNM. Pls share your story if I am wrong.

Ya, what I had in mind was capital gains or investment income, tax bucket is 0% anyway, just report to be safe.

As for bringing back profits... I wasn't profitable tongue.gif so can't share any experience. But there was an option for the broker to TT the money in, directly to a bank account of choice. Which I presume would trigger a phone call from the bank, regarding money laundering queries, but shouldn't be an issue to clarify lah. The BNM forex trading is illegal ruling applies to speculating with MYR - ie. If you have a USD account you punt with, no issue. It is made to prevent people from allowing you to open a trading account in MYR (eg some brokerage firms allow you to open a GBP or EUR account instead of USD as base currency).

AllInGap: i was told by a friend who tried to open an account with a bank in Singapore, seems it is basically impossible for us unless you work there, have business there, or are studying there. Very strict requirements. Do correct me if I'm wrong though?
*
I see. I guess you read the recent news about speculating MYR, but it is not relevant to MT4 trading here. That speculating MYR one really HAVE OWNED certain money in physical form or maybe saving in bank account. In other words, they are doing money exchange in a very large amount, so government do not want change money in so large amount money.

MT4 trading is not doing money exchange because ppl does not own any physical asset of money when do trading. In other words, you are just guessing the direction of the index number (index number of exchange rate) when open trade or close trade.

The call from bank is not aimed to trace any money laundering action, but bank want to keep a record as evidence in case one day the authority/auditor wants to see the record. To avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, you should read another old existing rule 2013.

over 4.50 now. Previously "experts" said in Malaysia TV when interviewed, if trump becomes president, US dollar will drop, so keep your RM. But obviously it is not the case now.

been using fxcm for years. i dunno about ecn stuff but im doing good.

i have currency futures chart (tdameritrade broker) layed on other screen, seems no problem with fxcm chart also. every movement are tally. stop hunts exist everywhere, even in futures such as /6j, /gc, /6e/, 6b, /cl.

but thinking to open oanda, they seem dont accept credit card?
*
Older credit card has no problem, but I guess new credit card cannot do that.

I guessed our new credit card (pin enable) need to be physical presented to a merchant for payment, cannot use for non-authorized online merchant payment. Only for government authorized online merchant . if you can success do that , do let me know.
