QUOTE(Hansel @ Dec 15 2021, 02:04 PM) I'm also like you, bro,... my AUDJPY pair went up and down and I forgot abt it. And I kept paying interest on the JPY margin loans but not earning anything from the AUD loans. IBKR has forex? I look at their page don't have much information on currency forex pairing......or are you using their forex CFD?? Can enlighten me abit... Do they have forex calculator like Oanda? Arigato

QUOTE(Davidtcf @ Dec 24 2021, 04:25 PM) Ya can.. Refer to Ziet's video. ----- Ziet had uploaded latest video on withdrawing from IBKR to Wise. If transfer above USD2k this method is cheaper. Else use the usual SG CIMB method but need wait longer time to get funds for that: Why not straight from CIMB MY -> CIMB SG -> IBKR , this i think maybe quite cost competitive also.......has anyone compare this way vs wise??

QUOTE(TOS @ Dec 25 2021, 11:11 AM) Because in the past this method involves 2 forex charges, first from MYR to SGD (Wise's charges), then from SGD to USD (IBKR's charges). Now it seems Ziet and David have found that you can directly transfer from MYR straight into USD using Wise, but in the past this method has attracted attention from IB's legal compliance staffs. Now wait for the sifus to sort things out. Sorry, i missed some details........ CIMB MY (MYR) -> CIMB SG (SGD) -> IBKR (SGD) -> IBKR (USD)overall how much of cost advantage doing this way vs the Ziet way? If it's under 0.2% difference (for example), some user might just accept it for varies reasons. Or as a alternative cost effective route if the Ziet's WISE way got highly restricted. If its under 0.2% difference (for example), some might just op for this route..........of course if it turns out to be 0.5% or more, some will just avoid entirely This post has been edited by evangelion: Dec 25 2021, 11:32 AM

QUOTE(TOS @ Dec 25 2021, 11:14 AM) Yes, there are many currency conversions available. IBKR's forex conversion are done with currency pairs, like "USD.SGD", "USD.HKD" for example. You buy or sell the currency pair to achieve conversion. https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=47638Thanks for the reply.. But i notice, it's a direct conversion of 1:1, how about leverage feature for forex?

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Dec 25 2021, 01:16 PM) Yes got Forex. But each trade/conversion cost usd2.00. How about leverage, like most forex provide? QUOTE(Ramjade @ Dec 25 2021, 01:16 PM) Do not use cimb my -> cimb sg. Use fintech Sunway money, bigpay. Cimb my -> Sunway money, bigpay -> cimb sg. From your experience, comparing CIMB MY (MYR) -> CIMB SG (SGD) -> IBKR (SGD) to your fintech way, how much difference are we look at? You get 0.1% or 0.2% exchange more at certain amount for fintech route? Arigato This post has been edited by evangelion: Dec 25 2021, 02:29 PM

QUOTE(Davidtcf @ Dec 25 2021, 04:20 PM) not cheap.. Ziet already did comparison between transferring from traditional SG CIMB method vs Wise method. Jump direct here: https://youtu.be/dJYzHEnBhJs?t=449The conversion medium he used for both examples are using Wise. What i meant was using cimb(MY) to cimb(SG) as conversion medium. Wise most likely to be the most cost effective, however, my argument is "how much more cost effective" when comparing using cimb(MY) to cimb(SG) as medium. As it seems that cimb(MY) to cimb(SG) gives a competitive as well. If its just a 0.1 or 0.2% difference, some users might find this more fitting to their uses or reasons.
