Yes I used BigPay to transfer direct to IBKR in SGD, it works fine. I did it with a small amount to try first and then transferred a larger sum after. Refer to my post #1024 on page 52 https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4843925/+1020

the limit is 20k RM a month I think

I think you're confused. He didn't transfer a bank. He transferred straight to IBKR!

that promo is "wrong" site ah...that is ori tradestation US, trade US stocks only... we all talking about tradestation international which is different company... you can still open and enjoy the promo

The fastest and cheapest way is give your next if kin username and password.

To add to the wealth of info already in this thread, my experience opening an IBKR account via TSG:

1) Completed account registration IBKR via TradeStation Global (11.50am 21/9 Monday)
2) Sent SGD 326.68 (MYR 1000) to IBKR via TransferWise (1.30pm)
3) IBKR account created (can login) but no trading data yet. (6.00pm 22/9 Tuesday)
4) Received email from TSG that account has been created and ready for funding. Transaction history still show money not received yet. (5am 23/9 Wednesday)
5) Account able to be logged in with trading data. Money not received yet (2pm)
6) Initiated transfer of SGD 1400 to IBKR from CIMB SG via FAST (2.11pm)
7) SGD 1400 received at IBKR. Prompted to register Trusted Contact Person upon first check of transaction. SGD 326.68 via TW still not available. (3pm)

I opened CIMB MY and SG account in parallel on Monday as well. All in all, done in a bit over 2 days.

Would not recommend TransferWise for initial funding direct into IBKR, even if non-USD. The early transfer of SGD into IBKR via TW instead of waiting for CIMB SG to be set up did not provide any time savings. Looks like I'm gonna need to engage TSG CS on that.

EDIT:

8) SGD 326.68 via TW was finally credited in, without my intervention. Guess needed the CIMB SG transfer to be the gate opener only TW can masuk. (10pm)

Setting up CIMB SG account for first time requires you to transfer using CIMB MY. So need use their rate just once.

No the money must come from you account la.
If like this they might think you doing money laundering.

First time also want save meh? Save only RM80 IIRC.
Afterwards can do BigPay etc.
If open Maybank even worse, need park 500SGD forever otherwise charge you.
CIMB already give no minimum balance

via TSG
No monthly inactivity fee if balance is above $1000.

Hi, i decided to open CIMB SG account as most of you recommended this route. However i do not have CIMB MY account. is that ok if i transfer money from my Maybank account? or it really needs CIMB MY to CIMB SG as per their website instruction below? why? 

"Activate your account by transferring a minimum initial deposit of S$1,000 via FAST:
- from an account with another bank in Singapore;
- or from your own CIMB Malaysia Account."

i dont understand the purpose of CIMB SG account if i can just transfer from MY banks to IBKR via transferwise/instarem with EUR/SGD ?

Okay let me rephrase, I’m having a hard time figuring out how this works

I bought x1 unit of share at $16.00

Commission is $1.00

But once I got a match at $16.00

My average price reflected in my portfolio is $17.50 instead. That’s a steep jump.

It is a limit order.

What’s a price algo? Really new in IBKR.

Do shed some light..

Order matched at $16.15


What reflected in my portfolio $17.65 after order matched price at $16.15..

Total cost basis is $18

Can anyone confirm?

Open up app, convert using app.
If you don't want complete exchange use Tws and select buy USD.SGD and key in how much USD you want.
Select fxconv.

LostAndFound

In Portfolio in IBKR web portal, there should be a button to disable Virtual FX (on the right side). Press it, and the currency pair is hidden from view.

Hi i got few questions wanna ask IBKR experts here.

1) i accidently open IBKR account at Hong Kong site, do i able transfer my account to Singapore? or i need to open a new account at Singapore if i want at Singapore.
