I checked the transaction cost and it says:

0.7% Brokerage Fees
0.04% Clearance Fees

Total costs is 0.74% (excluding stamp duty)? Is this high?

I got it from the transaction calculator:



Or they charge 0.4% but did not update the transaction calculator?

Please ignore my previous post. The issue has been rectified and cleared.

Thanks

User error, not software bug. You can change the settings and apply 0.1% broking fees.
0.1% for cash buying

You should give them a call on Monday

Sorry, I have no idea on that. I get these rates by calling my remisier.

HLE use Java platform?
I thought they using excelforce which requires activex?

Just transfer the money first to your share trading account. Then you can trade instantly.

HLebroking? I thought's it's part of your Hong Leong Online Banking account

From hlebroking, withdrawal tab -> cash.
If you withdraw now most likely you get it next working day (Monday).

Direct debit to bank account.

For me I will always have the tendency to choose Excelforce platform over any other platform because this is the first platform that I am exposed to. However, I think CIMB's platform is more advanced in a way that they have more features than Excelforce such as alarms, sms reminders as well as charting features.

Fees are cheaper with CIMB as well. As far as user friendliness are concerned, I think it is up to the broker you are engaging the broking services with.

Yeah, I am one of them.

Over 30 trades a month?

If intra day trading RM 20 for round trip.
If not, RM 15 one way ticket.

If you do less than 30 trades, a software cost of RM 130 is imposed monthly.

I think different broker will give different rates. Best is to consult a broker and ask for discount gao gao!

I think you can go to branch to ask for them to open an account (1 business day) or if you are not free you can always ask them to mail you the registration form.
If you are an active intra day trader then I think you should try to survey with other service providers as well.

The last time I do intraday trade the system hang and cost me $2k (Tricubes drop from 44 cents to 36 cents in mere seconds).

Yes you can.

You need to contact your broker to enable cross border trading. Unfortunately I have no idea what the charges would be.

No, you can open at 8am and no time out notification until 5pm also can.
During the time you can participate in buying and selling of securities.

However, from time to time you will need to login to view your portfolio again if you have been idle for too long.

You can remain logged in forever until you logout.
During the time you can participate in the buying and selling of shares too.

The thing is only when you want to withdraw or view your portfolio, you need to login after idling for 3 hours or more. I think they have done it for security reason.
