first, i apologize if this topic is a repost, because i couldn't find it so i made a new one.

i'd like to ask experienced members which is best online portal to trade stocks on KLSE?

i only know about maybank via it's maybank2u. they charge RM20 to open a CDS account and some members here reporting it's helluva bad connection (being unable to access and not updated frequently).

what are other online portals that updates frequently? and do you guys know how much they charge to open an account? plus, do they come along with a software that keep tracks of stocks in KLSE live?

thanks in advance

all also same one la.. pretty ok for me using osk.. no software installation, only need browser and java.. CDS account for RM10..

paconline.com.my

maybank sux. im using it. sometimes cannot connect (that was 3 months ago...and just yesterday 1/2 day down).

imagine if u could have made profit...but end up as loss.

OSK, Hwang DBS, those are largest securities company in malaysia.

I am using A.A.Anthony account, not a big firm, but good management and so far just disconnect occasionally during market opening period. Maybank a little bit slow...
I've seen OSK one, not bad!

I'm using Affin . Free but a the GUI is a bit basic and hard to connect in the prime time ..

Using another CDS account bank can use OSK too?

seems like osk-oub's the best. any others? another question is can student/ self employed open a cds account? coz i don't have pay slip

No need pay slip to open a CDS account. You can open even you're a student.

I never use online trading, but thinking want to use OSK.

maybank charge RM20?

i open with OSK- RM10

OSK free? Any other free trading/watch stock except Affin?

i read that even if you got account with other bank, still have to apply again with osk. but i may be wrong. maybe pay a visit to their website will help.

OSK have to pay RM10 just like other members mentioned in this thread

Maybank need RM20. RM10 for CDS and RM10 for don't know what already. Some more this is nominee account only.

Are you using OSK online trading? How's it? It's free, right?


ivmaniacvi,

Yes, if not mistaken, you have to open a CDS account with OSK even you already have with other brokers.

So many times, still couldn't connect to Affin . too many use the free services .. me also .. . I need to change to another ..

P/s: Anyone please tell me your website of free stock watch portal .. please do not suggest me KLSE/biz star .. it's not a real time watch list ..

TQ

well, i guess if you put it in that way, OSK service is free since the RM10 goes to the opening of CDS account.

no, i'm not using any online trading Yet. but am going to plaza osk today to open my account after recommendation by fellow members. fastest way possible to get my account up and running.

I have K&N Kenanga's. Decent portal with lots of research and real time data. The downside is the not so user-friendly UI.

They charge 10 bux for CDS account only. Portal is K&N.

HwangDBS - http://einvest.hdbsib.com/bin/home.asp

it's nice to have many members contributing. hope it helps people who want to venture into stock investing in future.

i went to plaza osk (near ampang park) to open my cds account. 10th floor. was serviced by a pretty malay girl. she was really really amazing.

anyway, it cost me RM10 and about half an hour. to get an online trading account, i have to wait for 3 days. the remiser will call me they said.

btw, you don;t need an osk-uob saving bank account to open a trading account.
