QUOTE(AthrunIJ @ Jan 26 2023, 04:42 PM) Local bank MYR fpx to wise then to IBKR straight. Intermediary already convert to USD for me via wise also as I set USD account ACH to IBKR. Once set. Just one click all done. Which is nice. π·πΏπ Yup - left pocket right pocket inside Wise. As long as conversion is done within Wise we'll be pretty safe since their rates are pretty competitive already (at least vs. standard local banks). π₯ ACH buddy united!!!

I recall last time there are people waiting for weeks for the ACH transaction to clear. Is that now still the case? This post has been edited by TOS: Jan 26 2023, 04:54 PM

Except holiday in US which might take longer which is expected. But there is one time I send around 7am or earlier then it arrives in ibkr around 6pm on the same day. So I guess there is some timing there. Experiment around and see I guess. ππΏπ·

QUOTE(polarzbearz @ Jan 26 2023, 04:39 PM) Yo! So far no warning, been more than a year since I used it and I did about 2-3 top ups in between 2022 to-date. MYR Bank as in Wise's MYR Account Balance; or local Malaysian bank? I assume it's Wise MYR Account which should be fine since they use the same rates/internal calculations anyway. If it's local bank, just be prepared to absorb whatever conversion rates/bank charges. Definitely less hassle, though. ----- For those interested, I edited my earlier post with some steps. I was supposed to post this on my blog last year but life got to me and it's still in my blog's draft folder. Will probably finish it when I have more time this year but for now, share here first » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Step 1 - setup in IBKR Step 2: confirm Step 3: add IBKR as your recipient (for easy transfer) step 4: send money step 5: ??? profit! Hey you are back. Long time never see any update on your blog.

Most recent one was even within a day (sent around 1AM 21st Jan, received in IBKR available for use by 7.30AM 21st Jan) QUOTE(Ramjade @ Jan 26 2023, 07:19 PM) Hey you are back.

Hi. Does anyone knows what does the acronym CTR% means? I check the portfolioAnalyst under the Performance & Reports tab and I come across the CTR% column but I don't understand what does it measures. Would be grateful for some help here. TQ

TQ It stands for contribution to return For example if you invested $1000 in the beginning of period you selected, CTR% would show 1% and $10 in return for the selected asset that you invested in that earlier amount

So, it depends on the period I select as well. Makes perfect sense. TQ!
