QUOTE(dwRK @ Jan 26 2021, 09:10 PM) banned by SC... At least they should have informed investors prior to blockage. People can have their money stuck in there. So far I tried, the SG website is working though, can be accessed from Malaysia without issues. Only the native US version is blocked. wongmunkeong liked this post

A question for those who use TD Ameritrade, is there any advantage of TDA over IBKR/TSG? Or is it just a matter of preference?
Why did you guys choose to open a TDA account instead of IBKR/TSG? I am thinking of venturing into US markets. Need to collect some info from the veterans here. |

QUOTE(dwRK @ Jan 27 2021, 10:01 PM) tda is like bmw... more expensive but enjoyable... ibkr is like myvi... lolSo it is just the feel and the design of the user interface that differentiates the 2? |

QUOTE(dwRK @ Jan 27 2021, 10:27 PM) tda got more/better tools, e.g. for options trading, etc...not just pretty interfaces... but if you don't need them then is just fluff... I only do stocks. No derivative for me. I guess I will just use IBKR/TSG that I am already using now, save the hassle of opening a new brokerage account. so depends what you want for... got other brokers maybe better suited for different needs Thanks for the info dwrk. |

QUOTE(apathen @ Feb 3 2021, 03:00 AM) to me using ibkr feel like using dos base, tos is like using window gui QUOTE(Ramjade @ Feb 3 2021, 04:12 AM) Interface Thanks guys. I use TWS desktop often so I think they are quite ok for me lol. I have not fully explored all the functions, but I like the charts functions which allow me to do technical analysis on deciding when to buy (for long term). I have used it to buy Parkway LIFE when it was around 3.83 last year, now at 4.1x, that's a 7-8% return in some 2-3 months time, not bad for a decent REIT. Interactive broker have one of the worst interface (TWS desktop). It's not user friendly and is for traders. But a bit of learning and you are good to go. Cost TD is commision free but that's where the cheapest stop. They charge you USD25/withdrawal. Higher margin rate Vs Interactive broker Their foreign currency is not real time. I believed they mark up slightly. If you are using pure interactive broker it cost only usd0.35/transaction. One free withdrawal a month. Real time, real rates without markup. Cheapest margin rates on the market at 1.59%p.a Market access TD is only for US market Interactive broker is truly global. US, Canada, South America, UK, Europe, HK, JP, SG, AU. You name it. Application speed TD takes like 6 months Interactive broker 1-3 days to get your account up and running. Fractional shares TD does not have fractional shares. Interactive broker have fractional shares if you are using pure interactive broker. |

Somehow Malaysian authorities don't block TDA SG's website anymore. Now I can access it fine, no change to DNS settings. The US website is still blocked though. wongmunkeong liked this post

QUOTE(lambsauce @ Apr 30 2021, 11:34 AM) hi i just opened account This one better consult other sifus. I am not familiar with fund transfers into TDA SG. to fund, if use maybank MY transfer, charges is RM10 + USD$25 wire? if use cimb MY, charges also same? no points using cimb SG to fund right? coz charges even higher? Ramjade TOS allhafiez Some guides are available: Maybank MY fees/charges: https://www.maybank2u.com.my/maybank2u/mala...nking_fees.page? CIMB MY fees/charges: https://www.cimb.com.my/en/personal/help-su...remittance.html For your case, since you don't have DBS/POSB bank, you only have 2 choices, either cheque deposit to TDA Singapore from a SG cheque account (Cheques will only be accepted from Singapore banks. Cheques received from a location outside of Singapore will not be accepted) or wire transfer to TDA US from a Malaysia/SG bank. |

QUOTE(Ramjade @ May 5 2021, 09:59 AM) Use hotlink prepaid IDs calls. Only cost RM0.12/minute I think. Of course must dial IDD code or else you will be charged normal rates. You got suggestion for HK ah? My Hang Seng bank account got locked out 2 days ago just because wrong password for 3 times, need to dial directly from here, cost me like 8-10 ringgit within half an hour...I have hotlink just for calling sg. |
