It trails the current price by a) percentage or b) points or price 
It is used to protect your profit.
For example if price rises, the sell limit order adjust itself automatically and trail below the current price.
Very useful as exit strategy tool in volatile market.

I don't day trade all the time.. only when the market move within a price channel that I like.

>In NYSE can ride on the bear right?
Yes!

If the market is too high or price too expensive, just ride the bear.
If the market is oversold, take the bull train. 

That is why people keep saying you can make money by being a BULL or a BEAR. Only the Pigs get slaughtered.

Any advice on how to transfer money from maybank to sogotrade?

The TT fee for Maybank should be RM25 while the 3rd party usually charge USD 15.
In order to convert, you must pay RM 2 commission plus the conversion loss about a few cents per USD.

Can anyone recommend me of the local company that offers online cross-border cheap trading? 

Besides Etrade.com, which brokerage firm has bank account with brokerage account combined?

I have account with Etrade.

I am asking this becoz it would be easier to transfer money using ACH (USA interbank transfer).

the brokerage is very very attractive.. so im surveying whether it is a secure trade web...u trade before ? cashing out the money before ?

Read this post on how to open, BTW I have not try it. The post owner said he made it.

I open myself while visiting US last June not through this method

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=26223583

mynewuser, one thing to confirm: are you sure maybank only charge RM 10? and US charges USD 23?
from my previous experience, maybank charge RM25 while US charge US15.
I am moving to Sogo soon. May be we can share some experiences.

For those who want to have cheaper way of withdraw money from sogotrade. Another option will be ACH to GHz and tt back to malaysia. But can we trust GHz?

Perhaps you are transfering to Singapore?

Below is the list I got from Maybank:

You are using OptionExpress? I got an account but they charge a lot.. Is it good?
From Peninsular Malaysia   
=================
    * Between towns where the cost of wire for a minimum 2-minute call is 8 sen

Free

    * Between nearby towns e.g. between FT and Negri Sembilan/ Selangor

RM1.60

    * Between towns other than the above

RM3.20/as per telephone directory
      East Malaysia RM6
      Singapore RM10
      Brunei RM25
      Other countries or TT covers via Singapore (excluding Foreign Worker's Telegraphic Transfer (FWTT)) RM25

Just opened account with Just2Trade. The process is fast, just like SOGO.

Sogo sucks, been 7 working days, still saying account under processing. MB was fast. Zecco also fast. Think or Swim also fast but Zecco n THink - I didnt follow up with them. High price.

Just2Trade platform looks nice, quite the same with MBTrading but JavaBased. means I can trade via Browser. Yay.

Will update you all my experience with J2T.

P/S Ozak - I wired international using Maybeng few times, it is still RM25 plus some other charges. Transaction over the counter.

Yours should be online?

HI guys, what are the minimum units must buy in us stocks ? I see some of you buy 500. Is it same for all types of stocks ? Thx.

aiyah... dun say like tat  "If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants - Sir Isaac Newton"

i also went thru the same process as u all & it was others who assist me way much earlier & guide the way for me.
so, i just doing my part in this trading field. well, hope the newbies can set up their ac & do the rough job soon. as they hav a long learning curve way to go. tat is if they r still interested...

appreciate tat we try to exchange knowledge here & u all assisting the newbies on starting up & taking their baby steps in trading. any ideas how to make tis thread alive?  or wat r we even doing on tis thread?  constructive criticism is much appreciated if possible haha, coz i can be wrong too 

hmm do u guys try set up a list of stocks to trade on a fortnight basis? or maybe track which industry is performing? or wat stock performing in that group? who knows, maybe can attract some newbies instead of onli 4 of us communicating with each other. or maybe the newbies can ask us about their stock selection, what to read, which courses is better, method use & etc. we alwiz learn sumting new everyday, no matter how silly or sophisticated the query is 

http://www.reuters.com/finance/industries/allIndustries

eg. like one of the post on options calendar spread, maybe the poster can elaborate further, so we can learn more & share his/ her experience on options & futures trading

coz if tis thread is dead, no point the 4 of us continue this for fun    so i'll monitor it awhile, if thread smells dead, looks dead, feels dead, then it is dead 

aapl, will never know got pullback or wil breakout further. follow the money...
