Thanks

Hi guys would like to enquire, i found out that some ETF are available in an exchange (checking through IB ETF list in the exchange), but through TradeStation Global, i can't find the ETF in that exchange but it is only available in another exchange, why is this so?

Is it because TradeStation Global doesn't offer to trade that ETF in that particular exchange, even though it is offered by IB?

Example:
EQQQ1 is shown to be available through LSE ETF LIST, checking through IB website

https://ndcdyn.interactivebrokers.com/en/in...567&exch=lseetf


However, when search through TradeStation Global web client portal, it is not available but only offered through another exchange which is SIX SWISSS EBS

Do we submit our W8-BEN form when opening tradestation global account, I have forgotten about that

I tried to search on my client portal > sidebar > Report / Tax Docs
or
Account Setting but can't find anything about W-8 Ben form, nor there is any information if I have submitted ones before

I think i found the solution



still thanks all anyway

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

I DCA quarterly, one quarter a cup of Starbucks for me, I think it is ok hehe

Correct, EQQQ is domiciled in Ireland so WTH is 15% compared to QQQ 30%

https://www.justetf.com/en/find-etf.html?qu...&sortOrder=desc

u see the ETF EQQQ naming is same so they are same ETF, just they're listed in different exchanges

Borsa Italiana (BVME)
LSE (London Stock Exchange)

for question of which exchange to go for, up to you, factoring in commission charge of TradeStation is different for different exchange.
i remember BVME is cheaper

EQQQ:LSEETF is priced in GBx pence steering (British decimal coins)

so the pricing figure is big

18,800.00 GBx = 188 GBP

if u were to buy EQQQ:LSEETF, just convert to GBP and buy, TradeStation aka IBKR will handle the GBx:GBP hassle without any charge

thou I dont like pricing in GBx, personal preference

not sure if anyone here opened TradeStation Global (TSG) joint account after personal account?

not sure on clearing fee, i dont think i paid any clearing fee on US stocks, just brokerage fee, through TradeStation Global
brokerage fee is different charging from TradeStation Global on different exchange

u can check the charging from their website

if u practise long term DCA there is nothing to be scared

yeap

if fund A give u 8% percent return, management fee 0.25%
fund B give u 20% percent return, management fee 0.75%

u do the math

merely for ur reading

Let see how market react to it, i think i would just keep holdings

I think is the cost issue? trading or transacting using local brokerage house the fx convert and transactional charge is much higher?

what do you wnat to compare? if graph u can use trading view
