hi,

I "accidentally" apply for IB, which I don't think I will able to "waive" the inactive fee. so best advice is I just apply for Tradestation and cancel the IB?

newbie here

If IBKR UK, then yes. Otherwise, it probably won't work.

I also have an IBKR acc, but not activated. Tried many times to connect to TSG, only to realise it doesn't work.
live data?

I think probably Aus side. anyway still waiting their approval, just submitted my applications and documents, except bank in.

then I follow the steps until I bump into one error

so I go into the settings and found this which Im not sure should I "uncheck" it? or which options should I enable / disable?

I actually wrote an email to them( Tradestation) , end up the US office replying me but they seems not so helpful on this, ask me to check with IB, which I have online chat with IB, they throw the ball to TDS doh.gif

my IB account just got approved, so I'm not sure those settings will do any harm or not.. hahaha blink.gif

finally get my TS global up and running with test some funding deposited.

I only found out they can't do fraction share purchases. means I can't even taste of buying Amazon... lolx

any workaround? or I have to save enough for my amazon share?

partly good if have fraction is dividend reinvest.

if have fraction this TS global should perfect for me esp for starter.

Thanks for finding the source!
There is!

source: I emailed them!

CS: IB would charge $1 minimum activity fee if the account balance is below $1000 and there is no trading in the month.
Me: Just for more clarity, if one has balance above $1000 but with no trading activity in that month, is there a minimum activity fee?
CS: About the minimum activity fee, your understanding is correct. As long as you maintain the account balance over $1000, there is no minimum activity fee.

IB or TS-global?

i tot IB always have charges unless you have big portoflio.

What's the best / easiest way to open a Sg bank account, without having to physically go there? I thought it was quite difficult to open an Sg bank account unless you're a PR / have a long term resident visa? Is it possible to open ask our Malaysian Maybank / CIMB branch to open a corresponding account with their Sg counterpart?

use to be easy but not any more. one way is CIMB or Maybank. but I think u still need to be there. its different "country" anyway.
