I logged in, trying to trade, but it says,



what market data are they talking about? The chart is in front of me.

eh, I thought IBKR gives real time data? This service is not free?

who leads the index?

actually, why choose MSCI instead of FBM KLCI?

and EWM is in NYSE, but no 30% WHT since it originates from M'sia?

who leads as in which stocks bring the index up. Some went up, some went down; but there are some stocks that bring the overall up. Anyway, it's not important.



**********************************************************************


Question 2: for those who use IBKR or related products, do you mostly just use the portal, web trader, Traders WorkStation (TWS) or TSG?

I'm using TWS on MAC but still quite unfamiliar. I downloaded TSG on mobile (since not available on MAC) but still not used to it.

Question 3: for those who are good at putting special orders. How do I place this order?

"Buy when the value has dropped 5%" Is this trailing BUY?
I don't want to set a fixed price, rather I want to execute BUY when there's a certain movement. How?

no ... not fixed price.

Say today, it's USD 100. End day is USD 97. So it has not dropped 5%; but the new baseline has gone down to USD97.
So if the next day, it drops to USD 92.15, then it will buy.

something like this... I'm not sure if I have explained it well.

it's ok... I'm waiting for that technology glitch ....

there's a new product called TSGo. What do you think?

https://www.investopedia.com/tradestation-l...ffering-4772218

https://www.tradestation.com/promo/tsgo/

can confirm.

InstaRem can transfer to IBKR in EUR.

I did transfer in USD, earlier than in EUR but still pending. Maybe it won't get through.

Am I seeing this wrongly?

it costs 0.12% for EU trades? That's quite expensive if you buy/sell €2k per trade, no?

Using this link, but I think my fees are charged differently.

I bought BABA, was charged USD 1 commission. I thought min is USD 1.50??

also bought 2 German ETF in IBIS. The cost was 0.12% or min RM 1.80 + EUR 0.60.
EUR 0.60 is the correct exchange fee; but I didn't reach the min RM 1.80. How come??

Regarding BABA IPO, I've asked IBKR and here's the reply:

Please note, IBKR generally does not offer clients the ability to participate in an IPO (Initial Public Offering) of a US company. IBKR may offer the ability for clients to participate in IPOs outside of the US. The IPO subscription page is only available for eligible customers participating in certain Chinese and Hong Kong IPOs. At this time there are no plans to make it available for other markets. You can trade those securities through IBKR once they are listed in the secondary markets.

Also, please note that when the IPO is announced and if your account is eligible for it, you will see it in the IPO subscriptions page in Client Portal. By clicking on the relevant options, it will show you the requirements for participating in the IPO and further guidelines and procedures. In case, if you don't see any IPOs within the Account management, it means that the feature is not yet made available to your account based on the region/ account type, etc.

I haven't tried with SGD, but InstaRem MYR > HKD > IBKR works!

no ...

use instaRem, MYR > HKD. IBKR accepts HKD.

sender institution?? I wrote InstaRem. The same way I did for EUR.

I know it feels weird. I thought it had to be a bank's name.
Anyway, I still don't understand why IBKR can't accept USD from InstaRem. I tried to ask InstaRem the sending institution, they said OCBC (the same bank that accepts MYR). I was like, WTF?? That's not how FinTech works! There must be local bank in US that remits USD to IBKR.
He/she said no. It's OCBC (MY) that sends money to the US!

Maybe I have saved the chat log somewhere. If I can find it, I'll post it.

Yes exactly! That's what I did. It works for EUR and HKD but not USD.

the acc is approved but to activate it, you need to fund it with 1k USD (tradestation global).

I'm not sure about IBKR.

I think it's correct, as long as you follow all the details provided by IBKR and add your reference in the note.

yeah, next page is FPX.

doesn't matter, really.

yes. Using InstaRem, MYR > HKD.

It's easier as it's one step shorter, but same price.

1. As shown in many posts, via CIMB (MY) MYR -> CIMB (SG) SGD -> IB.
2. No! No cash deposit. Only electronic money transfer. Ringgit you can deposit into banks, definitely not foreign currencies.
3. The first 7 months is free. If you've more than 100k USD in the acc, then it's free without usd 10/month.
4. Just ask IBKR to send money back to your CIMB (SG) account. There shouldn't be any charges.



errr ... passport?

that's the only way....

loss? They only take a bit for the foreign exchange fee; no transfer fees.

Hey, they're running a business, not a charity.
