I'm using TOS, not sure if the SPY is better or this, any comments from you guys? Thanks!

SPY is around US$280, commission is $5 per transaction

Sumofwhich May I ask if you are signing up with TOS USA? I 'had' a TOS USA account for years but a few years ago, they said I have to sign up with TOS Singapore instead and close my TOS USA account.

So am curious, which TOS you signed up with and if it is still with TOS USA, how you still managed to retain that account. Thanks

Sumofwhich Thanks Sumofwhich. So I guess you are paying the higher commission now compared to when you were registered with USA.

It's the same I believe. They are just migrating our accounts and support to SG.

Need some help. Thanks


1) Why choose Captrader instead of Tradestation? Tradestation charges seem cheaper. Could it be Captrader has better service?


2) Captrader FAQ :
Are there a monthly required turnover or account maintenance fees?
In general there are no monthly minimum turnover fees or other running fees with CapTrader. Reverting monthly costs will only be charged if you have chosen Realtime packages (real-time course subscriptions).

An inactivity fee will only be charged if your total value of your account-balance is less than $ 1,000 (or equivalent) and you are not trading actively / leave your account "resting". This fee is 1 USD per calendar month according to the above criteria.

Qn: It seems that now, we have to actively trade to avoid inactive fee . So just maintaining $1-2k in cash/stock is not enough to avoid the inactivity fee. Am I correct in saying this?

3) Captrader:
a) To get live quotes, we have to pay $. Anybody know how much it is?
b) For non live quotes, understand that its free


4) Is there any inactivity fee in Tradestation Global/International or minimum $ amount to maintain?
a) Any $ for the software or to get live quotes?
