Thanks, i think CIMB sg full name is CIMB Bank Berhad without "singapore"

yes, i just worried the data or information is not there and if the account messed. thanks for the input

TSG told me min is 1k usd, meaning i put in 1k usd and withdraw? then deposit again if the withdrawal sucessful?

you have same issue with me which i posted back few page behind. No need upload any doc and account opened lol

Thanks for your help.

Since we'll be creating deposit instructions in IBKR and deposit from my SG bank account to IBKR SG account, anything I have to do in TSG web site? Apart from 1 email from TSG, didn't receive anything else from TSG like login ID etc

After opening account via TSG, you don't need to do anything.
All stuff subsequently involve IBKR only.
Login, deposit money, converting money, buy and sell, withdrawing money.

Thanks for the reply. Will try with funding next week

How to open borderlands account now? It shows Malaysian can now only send money but not receive it

Just to confirm, SG account (MBB or CIMB) is only necessary for easy withdrawal right? Any cons to opening IBKR/TSG first and only doing the SG account later on?

Also, some confirmation on the fees for TSG, it's only the amount which is shown on the link provided in OP (currently 0.007 USD per share), no further hidden charge? Or is that fee in addition to the IBKR fee (different tiers in the OP link, I'm still trying to read and understand)?

Also, I guess no harm when opening TSG account to take advantage of promo like https://www.tradestation.com/promo/cash-reward/ ? (Deposit X amount to get Y additional, where Y is <1% of your deposited amount)

EDIT: Hmmm... going through IBKR opening, when they ask 'net worth' how to calculate that for a married family (we hold funds jointly managed by me, both also income earners, even though most of our bank accounts/investment is theoretically one person's name). Is it very important what figure I put there?

sg account for now just save you a bit when bringing usd back to myr due to sgd-myr fx promo... otherwise not necessary

no add on ibkr fees...but got minimum rates ya

that promo is "wrong" site ah...that is ori tradestation US, trade US stocks only... we all talking about tradestation international which is different company... you can still open and enjoy the promo

just hantam what you think you are worth ah

actually i've tried to tag u regarding this and not sure u've received it..

but feel free to check back to post #2015.. there's actually an option to navigate for ID submission.. at the aforementioned page, click on 'Email, Fax, or Mail' and then 'Fax/Mail Sending Instructions'

highly advisable for u to submit though.. like our experience bro and sis here mentioned, u dont want to run into hiccup when u eventually decided to withdraw

Good news!

Received an email from TSG. They say they are still waiting for IBKR to fix this issue.



There is hope now. I don't think their CS is so bad. At least they still manage to reply me.

Some more good news, I received the OCBC scrip dividend election form in IBKR today by accessing the CA manager through the "unusual method" mentioned earlier.

It's under the "Choice Action" tab.

allow myself to add in a bit regarding net worth..

u're not allow to trade stocks ya if u input ur net worth as below USD29,999.. or something around that figure.. i couldnt recall the exact range.. probably u wont even be allow to proceed with the application if u input ur net worth range as too low.. so u may want to overestimate for this part

minimum $20k for cash account... but is age/account type /product dependent ya

Don't know. Mine was openned before they banned Malaysians.

Yes and no. It can also be used as place to park money cause IB doesn't give you interest on money inside account). Last time they give but since intereest so low, no more interest. And they give also if money is huge (about 6 figures)

For pricing, see this

https://www.tradestation-international.com/...ng-commissions/

You want tradestation global (https://www.tradestation-international.com/global/) not tradestation.

Just agak2.

TSG CS actually quite good vs IB's

Wow didn't know that. Thanks for head up but I have been honest. So far no problem.

i have direct ibkr account, and that time i just funded few SGD and it appears in my account.
not sure the case for TGS, i would assume 1k is safer.

Withdraw for what? TSG charges you money if your account falls below <$1,000

the $1,000 including your portfolio value right, just to be sure

IIRC, you need to look at the NLV. As long as it's above $1,000 then ok.

yea, i have that too and for 1 week+ till now =)

Yeah the account I opened is tradestation-international (as on the OP link) but somehow the promo code when I search got for tradestation. Looks like not applicable la, so no worries.

Thanks for all comments on networth, fortunately my honest net worth is more than the 30k USD figure so honest answer didn't get block for anything. I think my account open di (seems like got two opening procedure, one at TSG and one at IBKR (auto-open after TSG creation)? I got the TSG email, now just need to fund the IBKR account and supposedly will get another TSG email...

hi guys,

have u guys been receiving email or in IBKR webpage that..
