instarem to ur cimb sg account.
then pay 2usd to convert SGD to usd..

Versus

Terus instarem myr to EUR masuk captrader.... Can jimat 2usd....so kiamsiap Alex... Haha

I think you can straight convert into Eur and buy from tradestation. No need go USD route.

ic....

i go myr -> usd terus hoot CSPX...... until now payment also belum remit.....16 days d....

No need bikin susah Susah lahh.

Come SA.

16 days is way too long man

His way only 16 days. My way few hours only.
Stashaway is expensive at 0.8%p.a Not to mentioned when you sell your money, they return it in RM. No diversification at all.

Wasn't it established previously in this or All about ETFs/ Foreign Brokers thread that you can't Instarem USD directly to IB's Citibank USA account?

am still trying now. will report outcome.

16 days and counting

His was using euro. For USD I think is first time trying.

For me transferwise USD - > Interactive broker USD no go.

so you are more to a stock picker? just lurking here for foreign broker instead of the index / ETF investing?

So what happen to your money? stuck somewhere?
And not suppose to remit / transfer fund from InstaRem to Captrader / Tradestation?
I thought i read somewhere that need to be from bank with your own name?

So far never invested into ETF yet as I reaping all the dividends. Dividends gained, keep to be reinvested back so that produce more dividend. ETF dividend too pathetic.

So far from what we know
Transfering Eur via instarem works.
Transferring USD via instarem fails as in alex case.
Transferring USD using Transferwise fail as in my case.

i am applying for the account with TradeStation.
I have to say this TradeStation support rep, Oscar Vogt which has been replying is quite cacat.
I am fed up the way they replied the email.
Always did not quote the previous email (then lost the record what was discussed), and always don't answer to the questions asked.
I don't mind to go with CapTrader because of this.

Currently i got the message from them that the IC is not accepted as there is no client's signature. Therefore need passport
Anyway, i remember seeing this, where similar issue is raised:
Lowyat topic:
All about ETFs / Foreign Brokers, Exchange traded funds, Post No. #1265


Cool.. Thanks for the summary.

Perhaps when Ramjade and I applied they thought the signature was the ID holder's signature, only when more Malaysians applied they realised it was the Ketua Pengarah's signature instead

Anyway, the Oscar dude wasn't bad at answering my questions (answered to quotes as well!), he even called from London but too bad I was in a meeting so can't talk and he replied to my queries via email instead.

wow, then u guys must be the first few to apply an account with TradeStation.

Any comment on the attached email, the way he replied?
For your info, the email i replied in earlier email saying that i noted on the signature requirement and i will provide passport. But he went on to reply something i didn't ask and ignore the other questions that i have asked.

Well, lets see how the account opening goes.

I sent my questions in a form of numbered list instead of paragraph, so he just replied directly below each.

Perhaps best if you can request for him to call you, and remember to specify time since London is 7 hours behind.

Same here. Whenever contact customer service always use no. Make their life easier.
