MWR and TWR, which is more accurate?

CSP1 is crazy high price 21,453.00 GBX

actually only 214.53 GBP

why SXR8 now is only -1.64% while SPY is at -7%??

I thought they should decrease by the same amount?

sorry. Can explain?

What I said before about the data was displayed on the platform, so I'm not sure.

oh I see. So, even though on the left it's -1%, on the right it's -12%, it's still the same.

kinda hard to imagine; because if you bought the ETF on the left, you lost 1%. The ETF on the right lost 12%.
I thought the percentage would move in tandem.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm not sure.... at 11pm, both markets were still running.
maybe trading was halt or maybe my screen wasn't up-to-date.

Nevermind lah.... Buffett said, no need to understand this also can trade. 

ah, I realised the problem now.

both these percentage of change are based on the previous day closing price. The % of change from 10pm to 11pm for both may be the same, but NOT for the % of change based on previous day closing price, as they both closed at different trading hours. Am I thinking clearly now? 

Hi guys, how about just using Etoro and buying S&P500?

Etoro is not a broker. You buy using Etoro is using cfd. Is a derivative.

Seems a lot less troublesome to use Etoro to buy s&P500 though. Ive been researching and cant find much info on this. Sifus can enlighten?

etoro is somehow still fishy for me

1) etoro is defaulted to CFD and you need to REQUEST

afaik,
in default, all malaysia account opened through etoro is parked under regulation of Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
in such, all trade are default in CFD, you can know that when u try to place order, there is no option at all



so there are netizen from etoro group mentioned, if you dont want to trade in CFD, you need to talk to their CS to SWITCH  your account to etoro UK or etoro (Europe) which is under other Regulation, by then only u can trade in non-CFD

2) etoro spread is crazily high

looking at the same pic, QQQ last price is 217.66, but the spread is so high that you need to buy it with price of 217.93. 
it means that once your order is matched, you are already losing (217.93-271.66) per share.
I am not sure is this because of CFD trade

can try
1) open account and request etoro CS to switch your account to non CFD account
2) then you try check again if the order book price spread is still crazily high, if yes, better stay away from this 

I done all these research previously and finally switch to tradestation global thou more troublesome, but at least make me feel much safer 

understood, my concern is that usual investor e.g. Julian2103 wont know the bid spread is to high that contribute to their commission, also normal investor account opening first intention is to trade normal investment with closest bid spread according to market.

That's why every time people talk about etoro, they never knew they are trading CFD, let alone the high bid spread.

also a lot etoro paid "influencer" like to promote etoro can be used to trade normal share but they never bother to further elaborate that

1) you need to write to CS to switch your account regulation
2) never tell your account is default opened as CFD enabled only account
3) never bother to explain the bid spread logic behind

so a lot people fall for it and that's why i felt such marketing is very fishy and a bit unethical in my sense, personal two cents 

Yeah eToro is regulated, not a scam. Just that it's not the usual brokerage, more for social copy trades.
Also interface is very simple and easy to use.

Fees are high, the spread is 0.09% buy/sell. I had eToro but have switched to IBKR.
Imo, if just wanna dabble a bit, not investing too much, eToro is fine. But if doing serious trading, high NAV and frequent trading, better use a full fledge broker which has a huge number of features (order types, margin, options, performance reports, etc etc)

Would like to understand the protection as well.

Since TSG is actually using Interactive Broker, shouldn't the protection apply to both TSG and Interactive Broker? why need transfer to IB directly?

Can't really read the complete article in the link provided as the website need to subscribe.

If Ayam understand correctly, money is parked at IBKR...

Tsg referral market je. Earn commission.

hahaa, that's my understanding as well....
i always thought as long IB is protected then should be fine...

interactive broker consider under own name right?
get to vote in AGM, annual report and etc.

Ayam confirm money parking at ikbr bank... Hehe

If hilang Ayam sure rage
