no advance fee when i used Maybank Visa Infinite.

In fact i get rewarded with x5 TPs using it as it is classified as Overseas spend.

reposting from another thread:

pros:
UI is simple, good for beginners
easy to fund (credit card/online transfer from malaysian banks)
popular investor program. (can copy portfolio or just follow manually)
get latest investment ideas from like-minded investors(something like FB/Linkedin for investments)
access to crpyto on cfd
access to US market (underlying asset)
no non-active account fees

cons:
limited tickers on global market (not all counters are available compared to ibkr)
no call/put options
spread is higher compared to ibkr (even though they claim that they are commission fee)

pm-ed. thanks.

done pm. thanks.

not sure what jt is but

cfd is a 'bet' between you and the brokerage. when you close the contract, the brokerage either compensates you/or you compensate the brokerage for the difference between contract open price and contract close price, hence the term cfd(contract for difference). the brokerage allows you to take out a cfd with a leverage. it allows you to buy a contract worth usd10 with only usd1 (x10 leverage). downside is that it is volatile because your unrealized profit/loss is magnified by the leverage that you have taken. for every one unit of share that you 'buy' with cfd on a x10 leverage, a usd1 difference in share price amount to usd10 of your unrealized profit/loss. if the unrealized loss is more than that allowed by the brokerage, then it will ask for a margin call(top-up). if you dont top up within a certain time frame, then your contract will be forced close automatically thus realizing your loss. if you take out a cfd without leverage, you might as well buy the underlying asset. plus, there is overnight/weekly rollover fee for cfd. the higher the leverage the higher the fee.

in contrast, there is no fee in owning underlying asset. the brokerage will hold the share for you on behalf(nominee). you are also entitled for dividends but it is subject to withholding tax.

there is no answer to which one is better. it all depends on your risk appetite. high risk high return and vice versa. good luck and all the best.

yes but their forex rate is high. might as well charge it directly to the credit card.

Go to Settings. Then go to Profile. It is shown there under which regulation.

When you Open a trade without leverage, it is buying the underlying asset (Non-CFD). If you buy with Leverage, it is a CFD trade. It is clearly shown in the Open Trade page.

its your bank that converts the USD to MYR. etoro sends USD to your local bank. your local bank account is denominated in MYR. so it auto converts the usd2000 to MYR.

stop loss uses market order. once it passes 21 doesnt mean that the position is closed at 21. that's how etoro make their money.

ibkr or tiger brokers

what frequency you use for your chart? use the lowest(per min) are you sure the day high is 20.11? check the candlestick of that day. else email them for clarification.

go to ibkr thread. UI definitely not as noob friendly as etoro. you dont need overseas account. just the hassle of transferring using Wire TT thru your bank or use Wise.

hahaha why cannot? if you dont like you their policy, can always migrate to other platform.
