Alexkos,
Hi,
can comment any summary after so many posts of update?

Which one is better broker for this S&P 500 ETF?
CapTrader or TradeStation?
What is the best method (cheapest cost) to transfer the fund, for typical Malaysia and for individual with Singapore bank account (Malaysian working in Singapore).

If not mistaken, TradeStation has an inactivity fee of $50 if less than 5x transaction per year.
And need to becareful if any data that you have subcribed that may be charged for some fees.

Is all European and London have 15% witholding tax,
while US is with 30% witholding tax?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

From the online chat support, i was told that there will be inactivity as i mentioned.
i can share the screen shot if u guys like to see.

Tradestation and Tradestation Global.. is there any difference?
Anyway, the fee thing i am asking.. Don't seem to be able to find any info online? (or i can't find it?)

From the fee u mentioned, generally if less capital, TradeStation >> CapTrader lo?

thanks to u, i just get to know what is boglehead 3 fund portfolio.
Dont worry.. always DYDD right?

any comment on this?
"What is the best method (cheapest cost) to transfer the fund, for typical Malaysia and for individual with Singapore bank account (Malaysian working in Singapore)."

https://www.tradestation-international.com/
Didn't notice there is a difference between Tradestation US and Global (international)

So generally TradeStation need about 1,250 GBP (About 6,500 MYR) can hoot already right? (0.12% of 1,250 GBP = 1.5 GBP fee)

What will be the fee incurred?
is it just 2USD fee, then just *** SGD x conversion rate to *** USD?
"good rate" of FX conversion from SGD to USD (to make sure if you are buying USD stock/ ETF) offered by IB.?
Is the above correct?


Can i also know what's the consideration you all have when come to choosing the following ETF:

VUSD:LN
Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF

CSPX:LN
iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF

SXR8:GR
iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF

Thanks in advance

Newbie's reply, try this:
VHYL:LN
Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield UCITS ETF


Waiting for answer from sifu here too

so you are more to a stock picker? just lurking here for foreign broker instead of the index / ETF investing?

So what happen to your money? stuck somewhere?
And not suppose to remit / transfer fund from InstaRem to Captrader / Tradestation?
I thought i read somewhere that need to be from bank with your own name?

i am applying for the account with TradeStation.
I have to say this TradeStation support rep, Oscar Vogt which has been replying is quite cacat.
I am fed up the way they replied the email.
Always did not quote the previous email (then lost the record what was discussed), and always don't answer to the questions asked.
I don't mind to go with CapTrader because of this.

Currently i got the message from them that the IC is not accepted as there is no client's signature. Therefore need passport
Anyway, i remember seeing this, where similar issue is raised:
Lowyat topic:
All about ETFs / Foreign Brokers, Exchange traded funds, Post No. #1265


Cool.. Thanks for the summary.

wow, then u guys must be the first few to apply an account with TradeStation.

Any comment on the attached email, the way he replied?
For your info, the email i replied in earlier email saying that i noted on the signature requirement and i will provide passport. But he went on to reply something i didn't ask and ignore the other questions that i have asked.

Well, lets see how the account opening goes.



Attached thumbnail(s)

Can you do a screenshot of of CSPX in IB? I think i cant find it.


Quoting on you previously.. understand u say u still avoid LSE.. can share more on this LSE stamp duty charges?

Whats the quote price of CSP1?

this stamp tax, doesn't matter to u anymore?


Oh, didnt notice the GBp, where the small p = pence.
thanks

btw, which part in the IB mention about the currency of the stock? try to find this GBp for CSP1 but couldn't find.

And i thought u have been saying to buy CSPX... no more now?

Thanks.
i can see this only:
https://www.tradestation-international.com/.../exchange-fees/

Exchange Fees - Currency: EUR, GBP, USD
ETFs: Fee @ 0.45 bps of trade value or min.: USD 0.13 per Order

Clearing Fee:
All USD 0.08
All GBP 0.06


Would like to ask further on the currency exchange to USD for buying.

What is the method u guys used?
i saw this blog from other forum.
https://keykeytravels.blogspot.com/2019/07/...conversion.html

Are u guys following the method from this blog?
which as per the blog Step 2c,
to go into order ticket, search for USD.SGD., then convert accordingly.

or...using the apps where there is "convert currency".
Using the apps, Under Trade:
order ticket,
order wheel
portfolio
ibot
"convert currency".

Any advise on which way to go for?
which method is recommended?



if the ask price is 1.37176
and i need 1,000.00 USD,
means i need 1,371.76 of SGD.. is that correct?

thanks for the reply again.

i find the method in keykeytravel like getting into forex position..
i will a little more research before i proceed with the currency conversion.
I have not much idea about FXCONV, IDEALPRO, virtual FX position.. but thanks for the heads up.

alexkos
I see u have been mentioning GBP currency based S&P 500 ETFs, instead of USD based..
Are u taking into consideration of currency?


As we can see GBP is kinda cheap.. but how is the future prospect.

The next time u guys are withdrawing the money, need to go thru Singapore bank account?

Not sure should proceed to DCA or hold a bit to accumulate bullet.
Will there be correction in February?

sifu, ramjade , alexkos, roarus

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.

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