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

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?
*
have to open new account under white label

Correct, if you're not a trader you can probably live with quotes off google finance/investing.com

ib fx trading is non-leveraged right? we've been mainly doing conversations

as for market data...some of google/yahoo are actually live feed...but not all instruments

Thanks!
Also im seeing alot of u using tradestation global and everyone says the fee for us stocks is 1.5usd.. And theres no inactivity fee. Thts just 50c more per trade and no inactivity fee.. Making it a better choice than IB.
But when i google abt tradestation global... They do charge inactivity fee. Am i looking at the wrong place. Can someone show me where it says theres no fee? Cant find it.

Did you guys notice this?

Under the financial instrument in TWS, I bought SXR8.
but if I go via the portal and under report > trades, it says CXPS as trade symbol. 

Why they use two different symbols for the same product? Very confusing!
*
my guess is smart routed your order to a different exchange and bought it under that cspx ticker

same product can have different ticker at different exchange...you go to blackrock site and it shows all the tickers

that will be ibkr llc... the hq/U.S. company...your will be on ibkr pro account

white label introducing brokers are tradestation-global, a UK company or Captrader, a German company.

By the way, what is that Adaptive algo?

everytime I submit the order, it says it'll adopt a difference min fees.

thanks!!

I kinda understand the algorithm, but I'm not sure about the fees. TradeStation Global also didn't mention anything about this algorithm fees.

edit: typo
*
if you have big orders it may try to chop it up and execute at different exchanges...this will attract different fees

example when I select Amsterdam exchange I get a fixed fee, when I select Smart/Algo I get a range of fees...the upper limit can be 3x as much as the fixed fee

what? f.... I've been using smart algo all the time.

This only applies to the exchange fees? It's still considered as one order?
For example, 100 unit at Xetra. They sliced it into 50 unit at Xetra, 50 at LSE. Then how?
Min €1.75 per order for Xetra; min £1.50 per order for LSE. So I'll be paying for both fees plus their respective exchange fees?
*
that will be 2 orders at their respective lse & xetra fees... bear in mind that the algo tries to find the lowest price, highest liquidity, etc., to fulfill your conditions... so might still ends up in your favor

personally I don't use smart/adaptive...

ah, I see. Thanks!
I just checked my transactions. Only those of my ETF purchases are routed to other exchanges, but they didn't split the order.

by the way, I'm looking for Tencent 0007 in HKSE but I can't find it on IBKR, only CFD. The same with HSBC 0005.
I looked through the website about CFD but it seems, not much difference.  :confused:
So, I can't buy these stocks, only their CFD?

hsbc... search for "5"

Thanks. I don't know why but when I use the help/ticker look up, it only shows the CFD.
but when I search under the order and the monitor section, then I found it.

ah well, thanks.

Hello, Sifu

Need some advice on the margin requirement@IBKR.

As I saw, if I send money to IBKR(in SGD) I dont convert to USD.
Rephase: Means, I keep my cash in SGD, but trade with the (visual) amount in USD, (the column in Total in USD)

I compare against buying power & the Inital margin also not much changes(Total in USD).

Hence, Why we want to convert ? Keep SGD also good mah, can save X-rate commision fees ...

please advice if  IBKR occurs hidden charges, if I trade with SGD?
*
when you buy usd denominated products, ibkr will create a usd loan for you...you will pay interests on it

if sgd drops in value, your available margin may become insufficient especially if you try to max out buying power, and you have to top up asap... if your assets drop in value as well, way below maintenance margin...ibkr will liquidate some of your positions

everything is transparent... no hidden charges

only reason to keep sgd whilst trading usd... sgd strengthening against usd and you are good short term trader...quick contra profit can pay off interest

Ok thanks for the insight. Have you transferred any stocks to IB before from a local Malaysian broker? What are the charges if any?

I should also think of disposing them through IB now
