I use the mobile app to bid and I usually want to enter with the price that i want, rather than buy at market price. The thing is, as I mentioned it's not realtime, the price may not swing to your advantage. Anyway I am just explaining why the message pop up and, that it's not a standard disclaimer.

Not sure what u mean by who leads.. But If u think about it, it's really just the opposite of how a S&P500 etf in HK/SG works. In this case, the underlying stocks are here. I think a large part of the gain is currency. MYR effect I think.

I keep an eye on EWM price lines as this is the Malaysia market from the eyes of a foreign investor. And the price chart is looking promising.

Im not sure about the WHT, but I suspect still apply cause it is a US fund.

who leads as in which stocks bring the index up. Some went up, some went down; but there are some stocks that bring the overall up. Anyway, it's not important.

Question 2: for those who use IBKR or related products, do you mostly just use the portal, web trader, Traders WorkStation (TWS) or TSG?

I'm using TWS on MAC but still quite unfamiliar. I downloaded TSG on mobile (since not available on MAC) but still not used to it.

Question 3: for those who are good at putting special orders. How do I place this order?

"Buy when the value has dropped 5%" Is this trailing BUY?
I don't want to set a fixed price, rather I want to execute BUY when there's a certain movement. How?

Ibkr has lots of training videos. Youtube also.

5% below is still a fixed price order, just means you let ibkr calc this price for you.

Trailing buy means you set the price offset above current price, it follows the price down and when price bounce back up it buys. If price just goes up instead you'll end up buying at the higher offset price. If price is volatile, it can whip up hit your buy order then crash back down... just saying

For someone new who's looking to buy 1 etf share and hasn't bought anything you sure have lots of ideas and requirements... very good keep it up

no ... not fixed price.

Say today, it's USD 100. End day is USD 97. So it has not dropped 5%; but the new baseline has gone down to USD97.
So if the next day, it drops to USD 92.15, then it will buy.

something like this... I'm not sure if I have explained it well.

if let say everyday down 4.90% then forever you won't get that stock....lol kidding nia

it's ok... I'm waiting for that technology glitch ....

At $100 it's fixed 5% below so $95...
At $ 97 it's fixed 5% below so $92.15...

Only bots can do what you want. Alternatively you wake up and set it to 5% below yesterday's close

Worse is everyday up 5% for months...then finally reverse 5% trigger the buy and then continue downwards spiral...lol

That's the reason why I just stick to the Limit Order to buy at the price I want rather than encounter such situation..no need the extra complication unless you really know what you are doing with the various type of order.

there's a new product called TSGo. What do you think?

AFAIK only US market

Bro, for transfer fund from SG CIMB FastSaver(SGD) to IBKR(SGD), do able to use FAST transfer or have to use TT?
When i try create a deposit request in IBKR, only can select Bank Wire Deposit, does it mean TT?

can confirm.

InstaRem can transfer to IBKR in EUR.

I did transfer in USD, earlier than in EUR but still pending. Maybe it won't get through.

Yes select wire. That will create a notification to IB that a certain xxxxx amount is coming in from CIMB Bank.

After that just transfer the sane amount xxxxx that you input into IB via Cimb FAST.

Am I seeing this wrongly?

it costs 0.12% for EU trades? That's quite expensive if you buy/sell €2k per trade, no?

Using this link, but I think my fees are charged differently.

I bought BABA, was charged USD 1 commission. I thought min is USD 1.50??

also bought 2 German ETF in IBIS. The cost was 0.12% or min RM 1.80 + EUR 0.60.
EUR 0.60 is the correct exchange fee; but I didn't reach the min RM 1.80. How come??

Regarding BABA IPO, I've asked IBKR and here's the reply:

Please note, IBKR generally does not offer clients the ability to participate in an IPO (Initial Public Offering) of a US company. IBKR may offer the ability for clients to participate in IPOs outside of the US. The IPO subscription page is only available for eligible customers participating in certain Chinese and Hong Kong IPOs. At this time there are no plans to make it available for other markets. You can trade those securities through IBKR once they are listed in the secondary markets.

Also, please note that when the IPO is announced and if your account is eligible for it, you will see it in the IPO subscriptions page in Client Portal. By clicking on the relevant options, it will show you the requirements for participating in the IPO and further guidelines and procedures. In case, if you don't see any IPOs within the Account management, it means that the feature is not yet made available to your account based on the region/ account type, etc.

Would like to add those who opened IBKR with Whitelabels, IBKR won't do IPO for you. You will need to go back to the original whitelabels you opened with and ask how to proceed.

Just went through TradeStation Global account application.

Two questions that would need clarification:-
1. May I know if we need to wait until approved status then only can perform funding?


2. What're the options to fund the TSG account? Let say primarily to invest in NYSE. From thread reading here, seems like Instarem is the lowest cost choice ?
