QUOTE(melondance @ Sep 29 2023, 10:13 PM) depends on the types of bond, % etf holdings and how much/many of it meets US qualifying interest income requirements...you'll have to go back to the issuer and they should have calculated it out in their reports |

Plan A =Cimb sg->Cimb my, Plan B = wise. Plan B I suspect I'll rarely use due to expensive wise fees, what more Plan C |

QUOTE(Mattrock @ Nov 16 2023, 07:30 PM) During the recent TD Ameritrade SG shutdown, I managed to get my account transferred to TD Ameritrade USA. However, I learnt that they do not allow foreign account holders to name any beneficiaries. ? i tot you are approved AI... how come move to tda usa?Upon checking with my Will executor, they said the repatriation of any assets from the US normally is quite troublesome and may take years and lot of costs involved. So now I am mulling closing out that account, bring back funds to Malaysia in USD and then open an IBKR SG account. afaik i may be wrong... ibkr sg is for sg residents only... my residents goes to ibkr usa TOS liked this post

QUOTE(Medufsaid @ Jan 8 2024, 08:23 AM) USD now is RM4.65, a drop of 5% (5% is the annual returns in RHB MCA I think) is RM4.42. If lower, then you'll actually start losing money. you also have ppl saving usd for kid's study... or just hedging against myr... but ibkr is not the best vehicle for theseSo, normally ppl exchange into USD to buy US stocks |

QUOTE(kart @ Feb 19 2024, 08:09 AM) IBKR CS replied that when IBKR deducted the GBP cash in my account for the Preferential Offering, the forex conversion to GBP was not yet settled at that time, so I need to pay interest to IBKR. here you go... https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/educa...nt-holidays.php-- Well, I can understand that we should wait T + 2 working day, for the trade of stock to be settled, before we can proceed to perform further trading of the stock, such as selling the stock. However, the forex conversion in IBKR should immediately be settled, and the SGD cash in my account was already deducted to pay for the forex conversion. Moreover, I did not withdraw GBP cash out from my IBKR Cash Account, because GBP cash was used to pay for Preferential Offering. I just cannot really understand why we should wait T + 2 working day, for the forex conversion to be settled. don't assume... kart liked this post

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Feb 18 2024, 10:58 PM) No. The objective is not to earn more profits. The objective is to trim to get out of later positions (currently in the green) which will go negative once the market corrects. So instead of holding some negative positions, ive trimmed them to increase my cash balance in order to buy in lower later. your motivation to sell the Dec 2023 tranche is purely to avoid seeing red... for that trancheyour balance remains the same regardless of selling the first few tranches or the last few tranches...

QUOTE(Medufsaid @ Feb 19 2024, 11:37 AM) now the mystery is why i don't see this in my SGDUSD conversion. currently i'm (like many here) exploiting the "recurring investment" bug/loophole to convert SGD to USD for free upon stock purchase. i've been manually duplicating all entries to my Excel after that commission fee bug that i see in monthly/daily report you have sgd sitting in settled cash account... ibkr takes that, does the conversion for you, and buys your recurring stock... all is well...he had just enough sgd as settled cash... when he buys gbp, settled cash account becomes empty waiting on T+2... |

When does the interest get reflected in statements? you say buy ibit immediately was it market order or limit order executed same day as your manual conversion? interest should get reflected next day i think... ibkr has a doc somewhere showing the maths and how its done... afaik... you buy and ibkr auto convert... this is considered 1 trade, so no t+2 for fx conv leg... if you do fx conv 1st, then buy... is considered 2 trades... 1st trade must settled 1st...

When withdrawing won't have any issues? just keep your paperwork n paper trails... why worry if you have nothing to hide?They're definitely funds which have paid tax. I don't want to see problems where it's frozen by banks or there are issues happening. Hence.
