broker happy with 4% commission

What 4% tho? I'm using another broker. Not TradeStation kek

Broker which one ah

Trading212

ic. hw much ah

Supposedly commission-free. The fees appears to be mostly in the forex bits only

The Forex is buying US stocks or cause send money from Malaysia to trading 212?

For buying GBP ETF with my account which is in Euro

The funds are from my UK bank acc, hence my old tered of mine

Deposit EUR into trading212 and use their platform to convert money. Cheaper.

But the currency of my overseas currency is all in GBP. Takde Euros tho. You mean I should deposit EUR into Trading212 and then buy the GBP denominated ETFs or stocks?

Try deposit in GBP and see.

Main point is use trading212 to do conversion for you. Don't use banks.

Done so rd. Monzo seems to have the best Forex rates coz it doesn't charge bank rates like credit cards. But their fee is built into the spread

Use revolut.

Malaysia can apply?

Cannot. But if you have Monzo means you have some UK/EU ID/pass which means you can apply.

Those ID expire some time ago rd XD

I applied for Monzo while I was still studying there

Bigpay/instarem/moneymatch -> monzo -> trading212. Monzo should be in GBP.

I guess I can try Bigpay. Since Malaysian product so should be easier to apply.

Yeah Monzo is in GBP, but its quite popular for forex transactions coz no bank fee. It's pure exchange rate only with a bit of spread

Hi all,

Newbie here. I have searched endlessly but could not found the answer I want. One question for fellow Sifus,

- SXR8 and CSPX, what the heck are the differences between both? Are they same same or same same but different?

Please enlighten me, thanks y'all!!!!

googled and found this,...

Any particular reason to choose SXR8 (EUR) over CSPX (USD)?

hope that are as what you enquired & if they are as what you enquired, then looks like the different is trade currencies and yes it looks like same same but different
