probably doesn't really matter?

TD Ameritrade was added into the SC list can be purely due to they don't operate in m'sia, which we all know every financial company want to conduct business here must adhere to their requirement.. yet we have fellow m'sian open account with TD directly.. so that SC's move maybe just to tell the public that "look, TD is not under our purview, so anything happen to ur money is not our problem, u have been warned".. in other word, less job for them

meanwhile, TD itself is already a well-established company.. now they're merging with c.schwab (itself a cultured company) to become an even bigger entity.. it's like the US banning Huawei.. but Huawei is still one of the biggest telecommunication company in the world and no less people using their phone or 5g technology

If i recall correctly, to do day trade we need a min $25k in the trading account, is this a IBKR rule or US law?

Does anyone have experience in equity transfer to IRBK?

My broker requires IRBK to provide broker name/email/phone which IRBK doesn't provide so that my broker to contact them to initiate the transfer.

Hi All. Does TSG accept wire transfer from another US broker? I have stock option in Etrade (employee stock plan account), I am thinking to sell some and transfer the fund to TSG after I open account.

can we transfer EUR to Transferwise boderless acc, then deposit EUR at TSG?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone tried using HSBC's Everyday Global account to straight away fund SGD or USD into TSG-IBKR?

If not, for you guys it has beedn discussed a lot of times how to fund using instarem/transferwise/CIMBSG foe deposits, but what about withdrawals?

Anyone that is using IBKR without the 100k cap?

I mean without reaching 100k u need to pay USD10 monthly fee right

Does TSG support pre-market and after-hour trading? If yes, what time to what time?

Are you aware that withdrawal from IBKR to Maybank SG will result in 10 SGD remittance charge? Why not use CIMB SG?

Ah. So he meant Maybank MY not Maybank SG. Maybe just a typo. Never mind.

Then I am correct to ask loh. My question of why he opened Maybank SG has nothing to do with his transfer to Maybank MY. I just want to know his rationale of opening Maybank SG instead of CIMB SG. Since remittance to Maybank SG has charges, kind of make me wonder why he choose Maybank SG. Maybe big customer, so fees negligible? 

Anyone tried depositing JPY with either Transferwise or Sunway Money into their IBKR account? Would it be acceptable?

i can direct transfer myr to usd. I can use USD borderless account with ach

For transferwise, it's a domestic transfer. IBKR don't accept domestic transfer from certain countries, such is the case for Japanese yen. So you won't be able to use Transferwise to transfer JPY to IBKR.
For Japanese residents, they need to initiate a foreign telegraphic transfer in JPY to IBKR bank acc in Japan. It sounds ridiculous. More info available on Google.

I'm not sure how Sunway Money works. If it's a domestic transfer like TW, then no. If it's a foreign telegraphic transfer, then yes.
yes, possible. Just need to use the transfer details from IBKR.

Hi Guys,

I've been using interactive broker for the last 3 months trading US Stocks. I funded the account using my US Bank (I used to work in the US - so got some savings la) I also linked my Maybank for withdrawal (also my transferwise borderless acct, just incase)- yet to do any withdrawals though

However, I found a post on lowyat saying Maybank (or Bank Negara) blocks transactions from IB for their affiliation with forex? Hence cant fund or withdraw money to a local bank?
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4498867/all

I'm planning to trade stocks full-time as I generate a decent income from it every month, and Ive been investing/trading for last 5 years when I was working in the US (not a newbie la )
Planning to register as self-employed for tax/banking purposes - already discuss with a tax lawyer friend - I have shared the conversation (tax for fulltime trader) in this forum for those interested in self-employment/fulltime trading
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5102221

One question I couldn't answer my lawyer friend is that - is IB legal in Malaysia? Will BNM block the funds to be transferred back to our local banks?
I don't find any article/documents suggesting IB is illegal in Malaysia - and seems to the first recommended platform if want to trade US stocks from Malaysia.

Hope to get some feedback from Sifus here

i agree with dwRK.

open a bank account in SG for peace of mind. or if you have a debit card linked to ur US bank (not sure if its too late for you to apply debit card from IBKR), then use that instead unless you bringing in a big sum.

Hi does anyone know how do i check my total realized P&L on the IBKR mobile app? Currently i can only see total unrealized P&L. Thanks!

Hmm. I saw that, but it shows zero. The loss that I made when I closed my position on some shares last week is not reflected there...

AML is diff story.

"IB for their affiliation with forex"
i am suggesting that to mitigate risk of this being flagged simply due to the sender is/may suspicious in the future as SC added TD Ameritrade and few more to the alert list recently, and then TDA is not accessible by using certain telco without some workaround.

Managed to fund USD using TransferWise (not Borderless/Multi-Currency account), it took 4 working days. The transaction method shown in the history is ACH.

Ibkr server problem now?
