Just curios does TD Ameritrade SG is the company while their trading tool is TOS?

Do they revised the pricing as I see from their website is $0 commission fee and $0.65 for option.

Would like to ask, if I would like to transfer the cash in TDA account to another broker (in same currency), is there any transfer fees charged from TDA side? I couldn't find any information on that.

I just received a reply from TD Ameritrade SG's customer service. It cost $75 to move funds!!! that's really expensive. Seems like the rates published for TD Ameritrade are for accounts sitting in US. Those accounts in SG are all charged much higher fees...

Maybe from broker to broker is considered ACAT. Maybe wire transfer is oni for transfer into normal banking accounts.

Uhmmm wrong link? haha

by the way, the reason why I asked is because some of the forumer say foreigners (malaysians like us) will still be charged, but their website mentioned $0 commission fee;

so that is why im very confused

that explains it, thanks!

so the only money im paying are TT fee + Wells Fargo (USD25) + withdrawal fee

When transferring back to Malaysia. Will we get queried by bank negara? Or will get flagged?

May I know what's the amount considered big or small? Or depends on luck?

Is td ameritrade website blocked? I seem to be unable to access their site unless I m using vpn. Looks to be the same for their app.

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.

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.

lol

So it is just the feel and the design of the user interface that differentiates the 2?

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.

Thanks for the info dwrk.

dwRK Does IBKR have tools like TD Ameritrade's heatmap (where you can see the different stocks bullishness/bearishness in each sector--technology, materials etc) and scanner (both fundamentals and TA)?

why so troublesome, just use google dns or cloudflare dns settle

Their foreign currency is not real time. I believed they mark up slightly.

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.

Thanks
dwRK Ramjade mentioned the need for the open vpn server need to be trusted. Is the free openvpn you are using safe?

Those Vpn have reputation to protect. If they screw up, the privacy community will know and immediately boycott.
