I fund on the same day I opened an account. Best to Fund it early do that account can be activated fast.

Normal. They will call. last time they call from UK. Doesn't matter about location. IB will route you to the nearest location.

Same situation, can't find the fraction stock in trade permissions.

maybe only for old customers or those with assets above a certain value.

I tried but it is greyed out for me, and when i try to buy fractional in LSE i get an error

Limited stocks and market. I wouldn't trust etoro at all. They are only good for copy trade.
You need to think about withdrawing.

hi, i have recently started to withdraw money on monthly basis from interactive brokers to maybank.
everytime, i do the transfer, the bank will call me to ask about the source of the fund because the amount is >10kMYR

1. is there a workaround for this? is foreign bank (HSBC or CItibank) better in this regards?
2. THe withdrawal from IB to Maybank cost me about USD25. this is a bit too much in my perspective, anyone has experience with other banks?

TIA

thanks, so , i am a malaysian, i can just go to the cimb branch and open an SG account?

Hello Sifu,

May i ask how we should convert sgd to usd?.... using TWS , or just using the app? or client portal?
If using TWS.... Should we use idealpro or fxconv?
Some youtuber said must use fxconv but some said the other way round 😅
Please help thank you.

Lol why you create dupe to answer your own question?

Im on cash account. When i sell if my shares, the funds are put under exliq. It takes a few days to be moved into available cash/buying power. Is this normal?

Ok noted. I was under the impression that it is margin account that has this restriction. I guess i was wrong. How do i apply to change? Send email or theres option on the IKBR account portal?

Guys, really need your help. I already open and deposited fund to my account with Interactive Brokers. I'm planning  to use their TWS platform for trading but  encounter this issue. I'm confuse because I'm already connected to internet but it kept saying no internet

Curious to know - does Maybank (where i hold some of my US stocks) offer such transfer? to IBKR ?

Anyone experiencing IBKR(TSG) portfolio loading error?

Do they have regular maintenance on Saturdays?

I am creating an account and under step 4 it says, fund the account. How long do i have to fund this (grace period) and is this via CIMB SG account?

Hi guys, wanna ask i recently created tradestation global account, but end up using interactive brokers to login?

well I used the app and started trading. bought 1 share priced at $16.15

but it shows my average price of $17.10, that's like $1 dollar difference from the price I queued and matched!

Am I missing something or? This commission is overly high? btw they charge me $1 usd for every transaction.

Ya I’ve checked it..

But it didn’t show up as checked.

I’m clear of the commissions $1-1.5 per transaction.

What I am not clear is

I queue at $16 using market real time data on another platform, then my position turns out to be $17.1 instead.. what happened?

Order matched at $16.15


What reflected in my portfolio $17.65 after order matched price at $16.15..

Total cost basis is $18

Ya exactly, pretty weird for me tho. I'll see what I can get from call centre later in the evening.

The Stock app from IOS also real time right?
Yes i use investing.com to store my portfolio
