I wanted to do DCA but I can't find the date of my last transaction. Anyone knows? I can't find it on TWS.

If I go through the portal and click transactions, there are only transactions for deposit / withdrawal. I want trading transactions.

Under reports.

Hello, All Sifu,

Just a fast Question,
1) I did transfer to my CIMB@SG for 1st SGD1k. - Done.
2) CIMB@SG will send me an activation code for CIMB@SG click?
3) After that,how to perform Transaction to IBKR? using Money transfer function?

wah... which gen are you?

1. through IBKR, initiate a transfer position. This is to tell them that money is coming.
2. Transfer details are given by IBKR.
3.Via CIMB (SG), make a favourite 3rd party transfer (I can't remember the exact name).
You can skip this step but if you do, next time you have to fill in the details for IBKR SG bank acc.
4. Make a FAST transfer on CIMB (SG) to IBKR.

Thanks..

Actually I'm stuck on step 3.
I only can see my CIMB(SG) account via CIMB@MY website..
I don't have CIMB@SG = my question is how to activate CIMB@SG?
In CIMB@MY not able to do transfer. Thats why I ask this question..

after you transfer SGD 1k to your CIMB (SG), they should contact you (if they don't, send them an email).
After they call you, then they'll send you an sms to activate CIMB (SG) acc.

I had to email them.... for others, it may be automatic.

Thanks again.. Now I'm clear..

if you're trading in EUR or HKD, you can use instaRem straight away...

doesn't matter...just instarem EUR or HKD, then convert in ibkr to whatever trade currency

Guys,

Quick question.

1) I recently applied for an interactive brokers, but i found out about this whitelabel accounts, how do i transfer my IB account to be under white label?

2) Is there a need to open an CIMB SG Account? Why not just instarem or BigPay it directly to Interactive brokers?

Btw, have anyone tried bigpay? Should be cheaper than instarem.

debit/credit card not acceptable by ibkr

have to open new account under white label

Possible to connect directly if the IB acc is based in the UK.

I also opened one IBKR acc before but it was US based, so they couldn't link it.

Ah damn, i dont think mine is the US based one. Do i have to cancel it and reapply?

no need to cancel ... just apply for a new one. That's what I did.

Unless you activated it already, i.e. first deposit has already been done.

Otherwise, just ignore it.

Silly questions

Why need to transfer to SG then only IBKR? Cannot from MY to IKBR straight ?

Also, does anyone trade for ex on ibkr ? How does it compare to other for ex brokers ?

TIA

Unless it's TT, certain remittance service transfers with a different the account holder name attached.

Examples tested (by forumer):
i. Instarem -> USD IB US (failed)
ii. Instarem -> EUR IB Germany (OK)

Or some might have faster and/or cheaper way to transfer to their SG account first.

Or some change regularly but keeps the cash as warchest in their SG account (gaining some interest), ready to deploy.

OK tq

BTW since IB also has forex trading facilities, any idea how good is it? Might want to consider naving all my things under one roof

Iv just gotten my ib account approved.
I understand theres a 10usd monthly fee if ur brokerage is less thn tht. I dont understand the market data subscription. Do i have to pay to receive live data? If i dont subscribe meaning u trade using delayed data?
