i have been using Trading212 for past few weeks.
basically good stuff:

a) accessible to US,  Europe (not fully)
b) no maintenance fee
c) fractional shares.  (from USD1)
d) no transaction fees
e) easy to deposit money (use BIGPAY debit card for almost @ spot live rate)
f) option for CFD account. i did not explore it yet

overall, great brokerage with everything laid out clearly
If ur a small amount investor who doesn't want misc fees and inconvenience, trading212 is the way to go

Basically, easy forward to open acc. doc needed : Passport, Bank account statement, utility bills. Most important of all, name and address must same and correspond to you what you have registered.

Is there a way to transfer money from Transferwise in malaysia to IKBR? Thanks. If possible in USD?

I had opened the IBKR trading account thru website.
problem come when i try to TT telegraphic transfer the fund the trading account.
the excused given by uob. ocbc and maybank malaysia is the account that receive the fund must be your name not interactive broker account
is this even possible bank negara made it so difficult to transfer the funds out of malaysia.
If I go to blackmarket and do them, there will be some repurcusion eg CRS or OECD which you need to answer to LHDN despite all the funds is legally acquired.

is there anything that i filled wrongly?

kindly elaborate abit here. how to use singapore banks?
do you mean i need to open up uob ocbc or dbs in singapore and transfer funds from malaysia to singapore 1st before sending them to IBKR?

here come the multiple fees loses. i need to convert MYR to SGD and then deposit sgd or convert sgd to usd in IBKR this is nuisance
singapore had a very limited options of stock. my expereince is all discount brokers dont survive except IBKR. it been around since 1980's
others just dont survive the time.

before you make a dime you will generally loss around 2% in fees and commission from converting rm to usd ( worse still if you go thru sgd then usd)

Malaysian banks -> Instarem/bigpay/TransferWise-> Sg bank > IBKR Sg Bank account (local transfer in SGD) -> convert at spot rate inside IBKR. I am basically using money changer rates or close to money changer rates using those fintech.
As long you have proof everything and you paid your tax you are free to invest.
Only scared if you got no proof.

Hello Sifu,

May i ask if we must subscribe to real time market data in order to trade with Interactive brokers ?
Just now i placed a limit order for PEP $132.50, but why my executed price became $133 ?

Thank you.

Hey guys so for every buy and sell of shares I see 1.5 commission fees..What does that exactly mean? Like 1.5 usd charge per share bought?

Or like per trade? So lets say if I buy 100 shares of a stock, will I be charged only 1.5 usd for the entire order OR 1.5 per share?

Can someone help me clarify this haha?

Btw another post mentioned regarding subscription to market data, how do we know if we’re subscribed or not and if were charged monthly?

first 100 is free per month or how?
