TD Ameritrade only let you to buy from US market.

Read from page. Use whitelabels. No need for inactive fees.

ah, I see. Thanks! I forgot they can be domiciled elsewhere even though it's in SGX.

why you buy both?

so what's the conclusion? Which is better?

White label? Can you elaborate more?

Tradestation global rm7k hoot cspx cheapest
But if got larger fund... 18k captrader hoot sxr8 cheapest

I'm using Tradestation + SXR8 ....

anyway, I wanted to ask which has a better return, SXR8 or CSPX?

You are right... Only US market.
Which do you recommend for low frequency inactive user like me?

for 99% of the ppl here - tradestation global

if you're buying big amount one shot, captrader will be slightly cheaper

both tradestation global and captrader are introducing "white label " brokers to ibkr

once you build up enough capital > $100k, can just migrate over to ibkr llc for even lower fees

charles schwab buying over tdameritrade...they are going to be the world's largest...not sure what is going to happen to fees n international trades

Not sure if I chose the correct SXR8...

they are the same share

Thanks!

oh yeah, I forgot. Just different currency.

Just found out about 3140.hk
Seems like the tracking is not bad

The one listed on HK does not have tax treaty and subjected to 30% withholding tax

Hehe... Remember for Malaysian... Hoot Ireland domiciled for maximum tax benefit.

Just got my IBKR account open, by estimation, I should be able to dump in 100k USD by May next year, what's the best strategy to deploy my money to minimize the commission being charged?

I have around 60k SGD in cash now and got around 80~90k SGD coming in next May from a Investment Link Policy, meanwhile I will be dumping in 30~40% of my monthly salary into my portfolio.

I tried reading the fee structure but I am still a little bit confused, there's a minimum charge of USD10 per month if the trade I made that month did not hit USD 10, and there's a grace period for 2 months (not sure where I read that, can't find it back now).

If I dump in SGD 10~12k per month until next May to DCA or this can be optimized better?

You are right, I still need to train myself better to understand all these...
