yes, that's what most of us did.

within 24 hours, I think. It was quite fast.

wah ... you've discovered so much...

I still don't have time to go through all the functions.

what's the purpose of showing this virtual position in your portfolio?

I wanted to do DCA but I can't find the date of my last transaction. Anyone knows? I can't find it on TWS.

If I go through the portal and click transactions, there are only transactions for deposit / withdrawal. I want trading transactions.

wah... which gen are you?

1. through IBKR, initiate a transfer position. This is to tell them that money is coming.
2. Transfer details are given by IBKR.
3.Via CIMB (SG), make a favourite 3rd party transfer (I can't remember the exact name).
You can skip this step but if you do, next time you have to fill in the details for IBKR SG bank acc.
4. Make a FAST transfer on CIMB (SG) to IBKR.

after you transfer SGD 1k to your CIMB (SG), they should contact you (if they don't, send them an email).
After they call you, then they'll send you an sms to activate CIMB (SG) acc.

I had to email them.... for others, it may be automatic.

if you're trading in EUR or HKD, you can use instaRem straight away...

Possible to connect directly if the IB acc is based in the UK.

I also opened one IBKR acc before but it was US based, so they couldn't link it.

no need to cancel ... just apply for a new one. That's what I did.

Unless you activated it already, i.e. first deposit has already been done.

Otherwise, just ignore it.

what? so there's a 1usd fee?

did you email them?

correct me if I'm wrong but here's my understanding.

If you opened your acc with IBKR first, then you need to link with TSG by following their instructions. If you opened your acc with the link via TSG website, then it's already linked.

When you go to IBKR portal (after login), you'll see a TSG icon on the left hand side, along with IBKR icon, although in my case, maybe I'm using mac, that's why that icon is just a blank white rectangle.

You can trade via IBKR platform (TWS) or TSG platform. It's up to you. Since I'm using mac, I can't use TSG platform. In order to use the TSG platform, the IBKR and TSG platform must run simultaneously. Run IBKR first, then run TSG with the login details you received.

HAA!! You have the same problem as me! Now you need to restart!!

When you start instarem from the very beginning, even before verification, you chose a country already. And once chosen, it cannot be changed! You can only transfer money from your country of residence (or chosen country).

If you choose SG in the beginning, you can only send SGD.

I'm confused... you're trying to send MYR using InstaRem to your CIMB (SG) acc right?

then you need to create a new acc (with a different email address) with Malaysia as your country of residence (from the very beginning). Then you can send MYR via InstaRem.

I see. You are talking about this part.
If you can choose to send MYR, then you've selected Malaysia. You're on the right track.
No need to re-start.

Just choose any country. I know it sounds stupid... but it works.

yeah, as Ramjade pointed out, if you've a residence permit / employment pass, definitely no problem!
just open another acc with another email address.

but then, last time InstaRem emailed me that, one person can only have one active acc. So as long as they don't know and don't check, it should be fine.

I converted HKD to USD and now that transaction still shows in my portfolio USD/HKD. How to remove it?

Did you guys notice this?

Under the financial instrument in TWS, I bought SXR8.
but if I go via the portal and under report > trades, it says CXPS as trade symbol.

Why they use two different symbols for the same product? Very confusing!

I was about to say this. That's what I remember too.

He's using whitelabels to skip the charges.
Do you know "whitelabels"?

No, most of us are not subscribed to real time data.

Lite is only available to US & India residents.

In the TWS, how do I see the % of unrealised profit?
I can see the actual unrealised profit but I want to see a percentage. Where do I find it?
