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.

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 biggrin.gif

May I know roughly how long it takes to open an Instarem account?

How about the interview? Normally what will they ask?

It’s an interesting read.

If I have the fund, should I hoot SXR8 only or should also spread out to other Ireland domiciled ETF as well?

I’m opening my instarem account today, yay.

Between captrader and Tradestation, which one are you guys using/prefer/easier to use? (Aside from the brokerage fee difference)

Both also straight away MYR > instarem > EUR ?

thanks guys

I am opening Tradestation account now.

I see there’s a section for offer code.

Is this referring to referral code?

Hi guys, need opinion from all the seniors here.

Are you guys still buying in s&p 500?
Do you guys have faith that it will continue to go up?

I have the fund in hand now, this will be my first time investing in foreign etf, so a bit kancheong,lol

Besides from s&p 500, what other etf have you guys invested in ? Mind to share?

Thanks guys

Hi guys

I’ve funded my TS account via IB.

I’ve received email from TS to download TWS etc.

1. Can I just ignore all those and straight away log in from IB’s website and proceed?

2. from IB’s website, I just search for SXR8 and proceed?

Hi guys, I’m trying to submit a buy order.

When I clicked proceed, it says my order exceeds the percentage constraint of 3%, then its cancelled.

May I know what does it mean?

Buy je. If I'm not mistaken. This index fund so big that it is virtually impossible to get a strange match beyond current bid/ask.

If u really scare, ask someone the market price of that fund, then hoot 1% higher market to secure your shares.

Yesterday I tried several times, but at the end it automatically cancelled by itself.

This is my first time buying, so need some guidance smile.gif

Current the price is around EUR260.

Can I submit a lower price, say EUR255?

or is it advisable to submit a higher price, like you say 10% higher, ie EUR280?

Thank you so much.
