Can't comment as i didn't go for it. the price of EQQQ:LSEETF looks weird on IBKR though so i won't touch it.

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

ah that explains it. Thanks!

i have been studying the ETFs - while most recommend going for SXR8 or CSPX, i am personally drawn to and looking at VUSD

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VUSD.L?p=VUSD.L

1) irish domicile
2) same 0.07% TER
3) USD denominated
4) LSE - ETF no stamp duty
5) higher volume than SXR8
6) and currently lower price than the other candidates.

the only difference is the dividend is distributing type.

Any comments?

No difference if distribution or accumulation. Distribution is better cause you can pick what time and amount you invest.
You can buy when it's cheaper.

Ada komen. How wire usd ah?

pay the IBKR forex? transfer to AUD then USD for better rates?

approaching this as lower entry cost = more units and more upsides

alternatively maybe VUSA in GBP?

I c... Rm to aud to usa... Mahal oh

Sxr8 je la

USD2 only... justifiable for the higher volume and availability of free live data via 3rd party (google finance/investing.com/cnbc)

for the whitelabel like TSG broker and even for IBKR, if they go busted,
any claim that the investor can claim? any reference?
Any history of broker going busted?
what is the protection for the investor with these broker?

Thanks in advance.

For TSG, you may refer to this website for the review.

TradeStation Global is an introducing broker of Interactive Brokers. If TradeStation Global suddenly defaults, no worries: your assets would be handled by Interactive Brokers, which is also regulated by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

thanks for the quick response.
Are u a user urself?

see ibkr share price for an indication whether they kaput soon or not

Should be covered in the above link for TSG covered by UK finance authority, if you have more than GBP85k/USD100k in total asset better transfer to Interactive Brokers LLC (US) for the higher SIPC (securities) & FDIC (cash) + Lloyd's insurance coverage. You also benefit from them sweeping cash more than USD250k around several banks.

Would like to understand the protection as well.

Since TSG is actually using Interactive Broker, shouldn't the protection apply to both TSG and Interactive Broker? why need transfer to IB directly?

Can't really read the complete article in the link provided as the website need to subscribe.

tsg is UK company so $ is covered under UK law...does not matter where tsg holds your $

rourus meant to transfer "account" over to ibkr...ie, open new account with ibkr US...so that your $ is covered under US law

but actually TSG don't really provide the trading service and holding cash right? Even when we deposit money, buy share all also done in IB account and platform.

So not really sure on the protection should be cover TSG or IB?

If Ayam understand correctly, money is parked at IBKR...

Tsg referral market je. Earn commission.

hahaa, that's my understanding as well....
i always thought as long IB is protected then should be fine...

y'all sign up with tsg... so legally everything is tsg lah...ibkr is only subcontractor to tsg... providing custodian and trade routing service... you can also say tsg outsourced to ibkr... hahaha
