Just go to the Trade Confirmation report I mentioned previously and you should be able to confirm if you're on TradeStation from the Account Information section

Sian, IKBR initiate refund process... Instarem transfer fail.

Why ah Tradestation global? So mafan one...

My captrader smooth.

Macam instarem dun like citibank trump with special account number....

breaking news. captrader and tradestation global (because both of them ride on IB platform) can do internal transfer.

heeh.......report more detail later.

summary report

tradestation global 0.12% or GBP1.5 whichever higher
captrader 0.1% or EUR4 whichever higher

For more frequent, smaller fund top-up, tradestation is preferred.

RM8 vs RM18.....no brainer~

???

1.5gbp vs 4eur

Just deposit into tradestation. Then convert via IB. Case settled.

Convert cost....

Come on la. USD2 only.

Can I say that from the info in your 1st post, I can choose to either open a Tradestation or captrader account?

If I hoot one lump sum amount (say RM10-20k), captrader is better. And if I start small, and top up bit by bit, Tradestation is better? (I understand that brokerage fee will be incurred every time I top up)

Just started to do some basic reading, before I start my journey and join you all

yes pal, judging from likelihood that you're going to top-up next time, tradestation global is recommended.

0.02% diff....hehe.....bogleheads memang save cost until ahma also cant recognize.

all the best. share with us your journey here.

Btw, part of my phd study focuses on the advantage of going indexing as a way to invest. Stay tuned =)

Index investing have it's place but I am more inclined towards dividend growth investing.

any dividend growth ETF recommended?

What will be the fee incurred?
is it just 2USD fee, then just *** SGD x conversion rate to *** USD?
"good rate" of FX conversion from SGD to USD (to make sure if you are buying USD stock/ ETF) offered by IB.?
Is the above correct?


Can i also know what's the consideration you all have when come to choosing the following ETF:

VUSD:LN
Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF

CSPX:LN
iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF

SXR8:GR
iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF

Thanks in advance

Newbie's reply, try this:
VHYL:LN
Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield UCITS ETF


Waiting for answer from sifu here too

i wonder if there is any ETF that is high dividend and non-distributing haha

I don't do ETF. I invest in the companies themselves.

USD2 fee + whatever price you are converting at. IB exchange rate is spot rate (real time market price used by banks to borrow and lend each other) and cheaper than what's shown in google/XE.

Mind u, myr to sgd via cimb fast saver is 2% commission ya. Hehe.

Sounds more like fast eater..

Belum play already lose 2%, faster than kenanga 1% growth fund.
