Wow. I admire that spirit. At least you are better than those fund managers who just compete among themselves when their funds' product highlight sheets show their benchmark index is the S&P 500.

What's your cumulative outperformance against the S&P 500 since you started your strategy? Can share the number?

Congrats! So, your "strategy" is only limited to swing-trade?

Woah that's pretty advanced hedging by retail investor standards. Just be mindful of the implicit leverage nature of futures contracts and the fact that interests are paid to your margin account complicates the pricing of futures and hence their use for hedging.

You might be disappointed that most members here are long-term passive investors though.

Sorry, I mean members in this thread.

I am aware of FX traders in this thread and US stock traders in the USA Stock Discussion Thread. You may want to check those out.

Now in HK, final semester, final year. Gonna graduate from HKUST this June.

Good news to share with you guys. I received an NUS Masters in Financial Engineering offer (no scholarship) and a 4-year NTU Econophysics PhD study scholarship.

My family does not intend to support my study after Bachelor's degree, so I will go for the NTU PhD scholarship. Barring unforeseen circumstances, both NUS/NTU offers will begin this August.

My research topic will be on the "geometrical and topological study of extreme events in the stock markets".

Monthly stipend 2.2k SGD, raised to 2.7k SGD after I defend my thesis in the second year of my PhD study. Monthly expenses will be around 400-500 SGD (200-300 SGD on food, 200-300 SGD for on-campus hostel, assume I am a junior hall fellow). Saving about 2k SGD a month over a 4-year period, upon completion of my PhD can expect to save 80-90k SGD before investment returns/savings interests.

And best of all, you guys will have 4 more years of Business Times to read.

After nearly 4 months, the old IBKR UK account is finally closed.



----------------------
Aggregated Cost and Charges statement is available for IBKR UK accounts only. If you are using IBKR US (IBKR LLC) or IBKR Singapore, you won't see this statement.

I have shifted to IBKR LLC (US account), so I can't verify the issue for you, need to ask other members here who are still using IBKR UK to help verify. Sorry about that.

Wrong. It's cimb Malaysia/moneymatch (I have heard now cimb malaysia offer good rates for transfer to SGD, have yet to check) -> cimb sg -> IBKR, convert inside IBKR.

Hi just bought my first cspx or first etf last weeks. But would like to know people here favor us domicile or Ireland domicile etf? Looking for something like SCHG and SCHD but in Ireland domicile. And wonder what is good to pair with CSPX.

Waitaminute - IBKR has a Citibank SG bank account number? I didn't know that!!

So, I have to go IBKR, set up a transfer in IBKR and choose to transfer from Singapore to get their SG banking details?
Is that where I should get them?

OMG! To think I have been using SWIFT for the past 2 years and paid high fees   

My IBKR base currency is USD at this moment.

I prefer IBKR mobile. Otherwise, IBKR via web browser.
TWS is too complicated. Need a lot of set up. Unless you are doing Day Trading, I think simplicity is the best.
Thanks Medufsaid. You are always very informative and helpful. Since we are at the topic of SGD, I would like to invest in some SG Banks like DBS or UOB, just to diversify, and enjoy better dividend yield. I don't think I can invest through MBB SG, which I have. In MBB SG, I can do Unit Trust only. So, the other idea is to do it via IBKR. Is there a better way or IBKR is still the easiest (since I already have IBKR for a few years)

you can actually open a joint IBKR acct with your spouse. Or transfer stocks position back to Moomoo Malaysia. Now there's promo in moomoo MY for free iPad if stock transfers exceeds RM200k

Hello all.

I'm interested to explore IBKR as my main account. I'm currently on an SG platform but I feel the fees has remained high so it's eating into my general trade profits.

I have some questions:

1) I do purchase ETFs like VUAA on a regular basis, can someone advise me on the fees as I seem to get different answers via Google.

2) Does it make sense to transfer all my current holdings to IBKR, or just leave things as it and just start to buy shares in IBKR moving forward. Anyone has any idea if the fees they charge?

3) Is there any difference if we are to transfer a relatively large amount (say 1mil) one time vs in tranches?

1 .Yes, the fees are based on %, so I just wanted to confirm.

2. Moving cost to IBKR should be free from IBKR side, but the current home side is expensive, so I dont think it makes sense to move it after my review.

3. More likely I'd just open the account and start to buy from there, and remain the current one unless they start to change some inactive fee.
