My account delinking is completed finally. They also dropped me a message yesterday and closed the ticket that I have raised for the delinking request.
Timeline:
Saturday, 10th Jul 0100: Sent completed form to TSG, cc IBKR, with ticket lodged
Monday, 12th Jul 2200: Email received from IB on verbal verification requirement
Tuesday, 13th Jul 0030: Completed verbal verification by calling the Hong Kong number
Saturday, 17th Jul 0430: IBKR "unlocked" with IBKR Pricing Tier, US Fractional Shares checkbox, and Refer a Friend functionality. 
Monday, 19th Jul 1502: Received message from IBKR indicating the completion of my account de-linking process.
Tuesday, 20th Jul 1000: Verified Trade Confirmation Reports for 19th July and confirmed that TradeStation International Ltd is no longer reflecting in my account statements.




TradeStation International Ltd is always linked to IBKR UK. Hence after de-linking you will still be with IBKR UK. If you want, you can register in other entities (subject to their approval) and request for internal transfer. Not sure about the exact process but from FAQs these are some relevant info:this and this

would like to share my de-link process as well..

submitted the request by email to ibkr on 13/07.. there were no news/email/notification whatsoever thereafter.. though i did noticed the appearance of ibkr pro logo, refer friend link and option for tiered commission.. however my statement still showed TSG as master name..

hit up live chat this afternoon.. and u've guessed it, the representative confirmed my de-link was successful.. and informed that the master name of TSG will be gone by next week (as they're refreshing this and process new de-link once a week friday).. i've enquired as well why there was no request for verbal verification for my account.. the reply was that my signature on the de-link form matched that in their record.. so i guess those who was requested for verbal verification might have deviate their signature on the form away from their passport signature (or any other signed document submitted during their initial account opening step)?

anywhere, that's all.. hope it'll bring more clarity

When I was still with TSG, the mobile app was already showing IBKR Pro, so I don't think this could be used as confirmation of successful delinking.

The most obvious sign of successful delinking is the appearance of the apple green referral tab on the IBKR mobile app.

I just checked that I'm now IBKR Pro, and I was able to enable fractional shares. Problem is when I switch between fixed and tiered pricing, I tried previewing a buy order to compare, but I kept seeing 1usd commission in both settings. Does it take time to take effect, or what did I miss?

Fractional shares in IB only available to US share market? Is it available to other share market like HK?

Ok, for SG investors, I try "theoretical buying" up to the preview message and I can confirm the commission has dropped to 2.50 SGD per trade. This is in fixed pricing. I have applied to change to tiered pricing and will check the commission later.

(Requests submitted on a business day prior to 16:00 ET will be processed for the next business day.)

Finally, login to web portal, IB logo and "refer a friend, get 200" message displayed! This logo also appeared.



Also can choose fix/tier pricing



Master name is still Tradestation International Ltd however, in the 20th July report. Maybe this is newly updated today.

One of them. BIP or BEP. Not sure which is tax free. Forget already as I researched last time. Now I don't even bother got dividend tax or not. Cause got dividend tax or no tax now makes no difference to me. (I don't depend on dividends anymore but make my own dividends by selling options). This allow me to invest in any companies even those without dividends.

You want good US REIT recommendation
WPC (us)
Keppel KBS REIT (sg)
Prime REIT (sg)
United hamisphere REIT (sg) or Slate grocery REIT (ca)
Prologis (us)

REIT like
CKI HK
CLP HK
TRG plc or Jlen plc (UK)
Fortis (Ca)
CN (Ca but listed on US)
Bro, don't waste time and money anymore in sg market. Sincere advise from someone been there and done that.

Sg market manipulation is even worse than US. Don't bother with dark pool if you are long term holder. Why should I bother if I am buying and holding it? Does it make a difference to me if the price in dark pool is cheaper than me by say 0.001 cent? I queue at what price I want and sometimes Ibkr filled at a cheaper price. Routing of Ibkr is basically though different exchanges. You can select on your own or use smart. If you select on your own you can save some money. But might take slower time to execute.

Never trade on insider news. I never have and never depend on it. And no I don't trade of you are asking. I am a buy and hold guy. Like I said why bother with 6% dividend p.a and basically no growth? Go look at sti30 Vs s&p500. Where is it after 10 years?

Your call. It's your money not mine. I have taken action with my own money as I love to make it work harder Vs staying lazy and unproductive in sg. There are better quality value stocks in US.

I still considered it DIY dividends. Same thing. Its money coming into my own account that I DIY instead of depending on companies. Doesn't matter how the money comes in like the saying goes as long as it's a cat which can catch mouse, it's a good cat. Doesn't matter it's black cat, white cat or brown cat. End of the day it's still money coming into my bank account.

I see most of you got your delinking request processed quite fast. This is what I get after reaching out to TSG again when there's no update more than 3 days:

"After submitting the signed document, it usually takes 2 weeks for accounts to be unlinked. Therefore I ask for your patience."

acc report changed to under IBKR after a week post delinked from TSG 

Interesting, mine just changed as well. The only thing is I haven't call them for verbal verification yet even though they requested me to do so, but I can see the pro logo and "Refer a friend", account type also changed to "Individual" in the activity statement.

Why do you need to call when they didn't put in the request officially via email?

My account has been delinked without verbal verification. There's no further email from Ibkr but if they do send me an email asking to verify,  I'd gladly do so.

I'm not sure why you still insist on getting verified verbally when ibkr didn't send you that email.

After receiving confirmation from Ibkr that they have received my application, they also informed me that they will send another email to contact me for verbal verification, which they never send subsequently.

Just accept that this step is not necessary if ibkr didn't send you the email.

I have questions about dividend reinvestment:

I read that it's free if the company offers such plan, otherwise standard fees apply so....
1. How do I know which company offers and which does not?
2. How is the fee charged? Is it deducted from the share value to be reinvested, or from your cash holding?
3. Continuing Q2 - what if I don't have enough to cover for the fee?

Can I choose to reinvest only for those that offer the plan, so that my shares grow a little for free, and get cash for those which aren't?

9. Is the dividend reinvestment subject to a commission charge?

Yes, standard commissions as listed on the IBKR website are applied for the purchase. Please note that the minimum commission charge is the lesser of the stated minimums (USD 1 for the Fixed structure and USD 0.35 for the Tiered structure) or 0.1% of the trade value.

12. What happens to cash from dividends that is insufficient to purchase a whole share?

Should the funds be insufficient to purchase a full share of stock, the dividend will be credited to the account in the form of cash. This is true for all accounts, including those with fractional share trading permissions.

Mean just can withdraw once per month, same as TSG.

IBKR is better than TSG because of no inactivity fee only right?
