EToro system really sick and not stable. Encounter few times the system issue such as can't login, can't sell or buy and at the end losing my investment.

Is there any better platform to recommend?

this is worse than rakuten. Been under maintenance since 1am till now. At one point my account also had 0 money in it but after refresh it's there.

Until now I still do not know how my portfolio is doing

Same feeling as you. Feel lack confident on this platform. Any other good alternative to recommend ?

Prefer old fashion but trustworthy and dependable. Full selection of the market is also available with no inactivity fee (very important for me since prefer to long hold) and if you want to leave them, a full ACAT is available for a small fee. Unfortunately, this also means it will be a highly sought after platform laugh.gif
Haven't tried but according to their newsletter it should go back to the transfer acc. The only thing I want to know now is that if using credit/debit option, can we still withdraw to bank or will it go to credit/debit? Because according to their FAQ, it should be withdraw to last deposit method. I'm looking at OCBC frank to save up on exchange rates but I wonder if this will change the withdraw option to the card or will it stay as previous bank acc. I've opened a ticket regarding this but no reply yet and not expecting a reply anytime soon and TD ameritrade registration I think maybe next year only go through doh.gif (and that is IF it goes through)

I have checked out BigPay, unfortunately, their bank transfer limit is only RM2000 per month and deposit limit is RM2,500 per day. Problem with deposit limit is if you withdraw and you receive it in that acc, I'm not sure if it will go through if your withdrawal exceeds RM2.5k. If anyone has had experience with this, it would be great to find out for sure.
Not sure of this, hopefully the support responds soon with an in-depth reply. Will update here if I get a response.

Don’t think it’s complicated . Can open as fast as within 2 days .

Watch from Youtube, the best is to open CIMB Sg bank account in order to fund the IB account and start trade?

Precaution of those using BigPay.

Last Wednesday I made a deposit to my eToro through BigPay and last Friday I received a call from scammer saying got to replace my card and saying with some problem.

The following is what it happened to me :


1. The scammer call from WhatsApp and saying they are calling from BigPay and wanted to change new card.

2. ( At the same, they login into the system and change to their new mobile phone. )

3. I received SMS from BigPay.

4. The scammer saying as verification to replace with new card and ship to my house, she said SMS already sent to me and wanted me to read out the code.

5. Then BigPay later sent SMS to me and saying the new mobile number is changed.. ( shit, then I know something is not right )

...

At the end, luckily the transaction made by scammer is successfully blocked by BigPay and my card is temporary suspended for further investigation.

I'm not too sure how they get my card # or account information and call me.. Just be careful if you are using BigPay and receive the call.

Looks like they finally completed the swap from CFDs to Actual Crypto™. Took a day or so I believe from when I clicked accept. All my crypto positions were converted at the price points that I bought them at.
