For international transfer, it’s RM20k daily, RM30k monthly. I slowly pump in money everytime after I sell some bursa stocks lol.

The RM10k limit is between local bank to big pay.

Guys there is some problem with IBKR they dont provide free market data for their client. we need to subscribe to it with a monthly fees. there is no free lunch i suppose. no wonder their trading fees is so low.

since i have account with tdameritrade so i got free data from there. but buy and sell thru ibkr

wondering why when i place order the commission fees is not shown anywhere?

their hkse stock brokerage fee is not cheap if compared to us market shares tier pricing
But compare to Maybank or even hsbc hk their trading fees is minimal 170hkd this is considered a steal.

Hey guys so for every buy and sell of shares I see 1.5 commission fees..What does that exactly mean? Like 1.5 usd charge per share bought?

Or like per trade? So lets say if I buy 100 shares of a stock, will I be charged only 1.5 usd for the entire order OR 1.5 per share?

Can someone help me clarify this haha?

Btw another post mentioned regarding subscription to market data, how do we know if we’re subscribed or not and if were charged monthly?

Hello Sifu,

We can use spore bank local fast transfer to fund our IB acc without any additional transfer fees.

Does anyone have a better route to fund webull or firsttrade account?
For every transfer, our local bank will charge high conversion fees + Rm10 and US bank will charge Usd20....

Please help and thank you very much.

Guys, may I ask which brokers can you recommend for investing stocks in US market (for non-US citizens)?

Guys, I have been Swing/ day trading for few weeks now. And the cash not settled w 2-3 days wait is making me lose of on good profits 😖

Do you guys recommend margin acc? The thought of ‘borrowing leverage’ is scary to me cuz Im not familiar w it..

Anyone here as a trader mind sharing your experience on margin? Like whats the pros & cons you encountered?

Hi all,

I read the first post already, need some help here.

1. I am not a a frequent trader, so i cant maintain min 10USD brokerage fees monthly, the the only viable way is to register Tradestation and deposit min 2K USD( i checked website it is no longer 1k)?

2. Tradestation only allow trading after live data enable? How much should I pay for live data for NYSE and NASDAQ?

Just wondering, usually how long does it take to get whitelable IBKR account approved (funded)?

If I have a IBKR account. Can I still use TSG to offset the 10 usd fee?

Edit: ibkr lite is better or whitelabels Like TSG

Since the website is the same as IKBR, how does it differentiate between IKBR and Tradestation? I just wanna make sure my account is under Tradestation and not IKBR to avoid the monthly charges...

Is there a way to switch existing IKBR Pro account to lite?

IB lite only US citizen and India citizens

I would like to subscribe to the OCBC scrip dividend scheme and top up my odd lots to become round lots.

Any idea how to do that in IBKR? Wait for election notice? Or we send them an email first?

Not sure. That’s why I asked. Saw the option on their site. Was told I this forum it’s for USA & India.

The status in your picture seems to indicate the date 31 December 4712 as the expected completion date. So slow, that's why I just use bank transfer instead.

Perhaps resident instarem expert Ramjade can help you out.

Just had the exact same thing happened to me. Please update here if it has been resolved?

I have not funded my account, but i notice im getting delayed data. Is it because i have not funded my account yet so they are not showing me a real-time data?

Alot of sifus here approve of Instarem so hehe I just follow. But planning to use Transferwise once I finish the points as TW is officially supported by them. The slight better rate on REM not worth the risk imo

i see, without live data it will be delay? normally you guys all buy live data? or which platform is user friendly?
I play to trade shares for US / SG

Thanks for the feedback as I've emailed TSG last week but haven't got their reply at all.

Did anyone think of legacy planning, ie what happens to your money in IBKR if you're ko?

Hmm. But I still think Sunway is currently cheaper. You get more foreign currency for every RM you put in.
If don't bother about the rates because a company can give good rates but charge higher fee. Another can lie to you by charging low fee but give unfavourable rates.
So the best way to measure is how much input (RM) you put in gives you how much output (foreign currency).

Assets should be divided as dictated in your will (after settling relevant taxes if applicable).
Make sure your executor knows about it.

Alternatively, you can opt for a joint account instead. So if you KO, the other can takeover
Just like a fixed deposit in a joint account i.e. 'either one can sign'
