Any guide on how is it done for rakuten?
My friend send me this link (http://investor.boardroomlimited.com), but since rakuten using nominee account, I don't think this applicable right?

is it a possible way to pick up only partially of the stocks? because of insufficient fund?

for example, they are 1000 lots purchased, and only wish to pick up 500 lots.

He's using Contra account, asking about picking up stock in Contra account. As the the stock he purchased on Contra, needed to be picked up (sort of like confirm pay money) before the end of T+2. No idea how to pickup partial.

you still don't get it...

He's asking about Picking Up Stock.

Example:-
Today, you bought Maybank 1000 units in Contra account, when you buy on Contra, you are basically borrowing money from Rakuten to pay for this Maybank 1000 units
It will show up in the Pickup Stock list with the due date on T+2, 2 trading days after the day you made the order.

From the day you bought till T+2, you need to Pickup the stock by having sufficient funds inside your Contra account to offset for the sum that Rakuten paid for you. Once you pickup the stock, by end of day the fund will be transferred to Rakuten then the Maybank shares officially become yours.

If never pick up, Rakuten will force sell on T+3 with their mechanism at market trading price (actual cost I've no idea).

His question now is, if he bought 1000 units on Contra, can he only pickup 500 and let the system sell the balance 500 units? In the interface, it's only selecting the counter and selecting pickup, never allow to enter quantity to pickup. I got no idea how to answer his question.

I'm not sure what will happen if he sold the stock partially before T+2 don't want anyhow advise haha.

thanks bro IwanAGP, you are right on my concerns....looks like no way to just pick up partially...and need to sell all then buy back some if i want ....wt....
edited: thanks bro xander83, i read the FAQ, seems like possible..just need to write email to them to ask for manual pickup those remaining stocks.

Am I reading this right? I'll only get charged RM9 minimum per transaction of less than RM10k if I buy US shares through rakuten?

Isn't that a really good deal compared to say, fundsupermart? I remember they charge USD$8 for such transactions

Why not just use IBKR? Only cost 0.35 USD (< RM 2) per trade and the FX rate in Wise is pretty good.

Anyone knows why there is a mismatch of share prices between Rakuten Trade and Yahoo Finance for US trading?

- MSFT closing price on 4/2 as per Yahoo Finance is $305.94
- MSFT closing price on 4/2 as per Rakuten Trade is $305.86

No, I’m comparing the official closing price from both as at 4pm EST and they are both different.

You can open up and compare as well if you have a Rakuten account.

Those trying to buy US shares on Rakuten, can I ask if you've observed your buy orders being rejected often? Example, you open up a buy order for a stock, e.g. Meta, and the price displayed is $240.288 , and you basically just choose the same price, then quantity, then hit order... Next thing you know, your order is rejected. Then you check the price again, and noticed it went up by a dollar plus.

My question is, why would Rakuten reject this order instead of letting the order stay until executed ?

This fact is well known, and unfortunately it doesn't answer my question though.

any idea how come I unable to find GRAB in Rakuten Trade?

Possibly not all US shares are available? I realize some ETFs are not available too.

Mine activated on 21st Jan, no notification lol. Were we suppose to do anything else specific?

whats the process of cancelingl my margin acc?

guys-  is RAKUTEN trade cheapest for overseas trade now among local brokers?

Yours double my value. Should be thankful haha.

Disappointed they gave us cheap stocks. Better open Moomoo or Tiger brokers deposit 2-2.5k SGD get one Apple stock.

Anyone (or Rakuten Admin) familiar with Rakuten Trade US trading FX rate?

how come the exchange rate for the realized profit (after minus out the trading fee already) so low 3.865? (compare to the indicated Rate) Rakuten is earning from the FX spread is it?

Anyone have idea can enlighten me?

Any plans for rakuten to include Ireland domiciled ETFs in future?
