I logged in, trying to trade, but it says,
what market data are they talking about? The chart is in front of me.

The chart is NOT realtime, but delayed. That's what they are trying to caution you. You can check the price realtime on yahoo finance to compare..

it could be just a standard alert to caution you. i'm pretty sure if you just go ahead and enter the order it will go through.

Of course it will go thru when your bid price is above the realtime price and you pay more when you could have paid lesser.

Otherwise if your bid price is below the realtime price, your bid will not be successful or it will wait until the realtime price drop to match yours.

You can subscribe and pay for the market data package iinm. For me, I just use Yahoo Finance app to check the realtime price before bidding.

Edit for clarity

@markedestiny

i think if market price is let say $1.00 unknowingly you key in to buy $1.20 it will be filled at $1.00 or next best seller price unless that stock is inactive or wide price gap (i.e low cap stocks)
*
I use the mobile app to bid and I usually want to enter with the price that i want, rather than buy at market price. The thing is, as I mentioned it's not realtime, the price may not swing to your advantage. Anyway I am just explaining why the message pop up and, that it's not a standard disclaimer.

Worse is everyday up 5% for months...then finally reverse 5% trigger the buy and then continue downwards spiral...lol

That's the reason why I just stick to the Limit Order to buy at the price I want rather than encounter such situation..no need the extra complication unless you really know what you are doing with the various type of order.

For Cimb sg first sgd1k deposit,  I do this unintentionally,  I asked my brother who working at sg to fast transfer sgd1k  to my cimb sg account,  I thought this will fulfill the account opening requirement, but later cimb cs called and told me that they can't do verification as the source account is not from my account,  she advise me to make a transfer from my Cimb Malaysia account to cimb sg account,  so they can verify me and activate my cimb sg account.  So I just make another sgd 10 (about rm30++) from my cimb Malaysia account to cimb sg account,  and my cimb sg account get activated next business day and received pin via SMS for cimb click registration.

Yes, that's what I did as well. Always perform the first transfer from CIMB My to CIMB Sg to verify your account first, granted that this bank allows you the convenience of opening online without Sg address. This should prevent any future complications later.

Subsequently you can fund your CIMB Sg with instarem to save cost.

The value of your portfolio which you want to transfer over to IBKR has to be at least above the specified minimum deposit amount in USD or equivalent.

Same here. I told them your rebates can never beat Ibkr rates no matter how much you rebate. I also have told them I will have access to fractional shares.

Have they given you the details of the rebates? If so, can share ?

Anyway I should have requested for delink sometime back as I have grow my positions in stocks since I first started with them.

I just forward my passport and delink form to trade station.

It seems getting different reply with me. trade station ask send file to ib, ib ask send it to tradestation.
Now i send both

If you have already communicated with TSG, after getting the form and completing the delinking form, just email to directly Ibkr accountmanagement@interactivebrokers.com.

No need to cc TSG anymore.

If you have not communicated with TSG about your request to delink, do not email ibkr directly with the form which you download elsewhere. Behind the scene, ibkr may need TSG to consent it without you knowing.

After emailing direct to accountmanagement@interactivebrokers.com and asking for updates on the ibkr app message center, my account is officially delinked.

Although they replied that they would send email later for verbal verification, this morning, I found out that I have the referral tab already 👍👍.

I guess I have skipped the verification process.

When I was still with TSG, the mobile app was already showing IBKR Pro, so I don't think this could be used as confirmation of successful delinking.

The most obvious sign of successful delinking is the appearance of the apple green referral tab on the IBKR mobile app.

Oh this is funny. I think you better perform the verbal verification as requested and don't assume that you can "bypass" that step. Otherwise don't know what might happen to your account in the future. Don't take unnecessary risk. Skype call to US toll-free is free of charge after all, just need to spend some time.
*
Why do you need to call when they didn't put in the request officially via email?

My account has been delinked without verbal verification. There's no further email from Ibkr but if they do send me an email asking to verify, I'd gladly do so.

My account showed IBKR Pro logo and the Refer button after a week. I can access to other features like fractional share, tiered pricing, etc which means that my account is now successfully delinked.

But i didn't get any email regarding the verbal verification. My signature on my delink form and passport is same though. Anyone encounter the same?
*
Same. No need to do any verbal verification.

If the delinking is not successful, you won't see the referral tab or change pricing structure from fixed to tiered.

In his case, IB asked him to verify verbally. But he had not, yet his IB web portal already showed signs that the delink process is underway.

I am well aware of the fact that verbal verification has become "unnecessary", as tadashi observed, seems like many are not getting that verbal verification email lately. Pioneers always have extra steps to do laugh.gif

I'm not sure why you still insist on getting verified verbally when ibkr didn't send you that email.

After receiving confirmation from Ibkr that they have received my application, they also informed me that they will send another email to contact me for verbal verification, which they never send subsequently.

Just accept that this step is not necessary if ibkr didn't send you the email.

Is this currently the cheapest way to fund ibkr?

Wise within ibkr.

How long nowadays to receive fund?

If u have a Sg bank, then transfer rm9k via Sunway Money app to SGD.

From Sg bank to ibkr's SGD account using direct transfer. Once received, convert SGD within ibkr at spot rate gets u about USD2021.

If u don't have Sg bank, don't bother, just slight saving. However if you transfer on regular basis, in the long run, these savings are significant.

What is Sunway money app? Trust worthy?

You can search in Google Play store. Yes, kyc applies for this app. I also use Bigpay, Wise & Instarem to transfer monies, so I use whichever gives better rate.

Comparatively, Sunway is better lately so I used it for my last few transfers.

I am thinking of moving my IBKR which is UK based to USA based.

May I ask those who have made the switch, are there any issues or concerns after making the switch?

How long would it take to make the switch, and what's the procedure like?
