Journey to Financial Independence @benjikoh, my account is M+ silver account (cash upfront), charged a minimum of RM9.70 per contract including stamp duty and clearing fees. You can ask your remisier/ dealer representative what type of account are you using to buy/sell. If your remisier does not reply to your message, it's time to change from M+ platform to others.

If park under Rakuten, we wont be recognize when AGM it's? 16/04/2021 5:55 PM bernardeng Like MrBorneo26, I have accounts with both Rakuten and MPlus. My recommendation is to open account with more than one broker to compare stock recommendation and monitor stock performance if you can. As for the reason why Rakuten operate using nominee account type is because in addition to cash account which require cash to be deposited first before you can trade they also provide contra and margin accounts which require your stocks to be collateralized. The advantage of contra account over cash account is that you can trade and settle later (T+2) hence very useful for short term trading. As for the reason why I like Mplus other than cheap brokerage is because they provide very good market and stock updates and conduct free seminars for their clients very regularly. 05/06/2021 3:19 PM SKLee198 Hi i'm new to trade. anyone can share that is there any cost to maintain for these trading account? or any other hidden cost? 12/06/2021 3:01 PM firstclass Hello All.

Say you have 3 matched order, each trade value 10,000. Total brokerage is 8.88 * 3 = $26.64. Not 30,000 * 0.0388% = $11.64 12/12/2021 11:19 AM chinvest17 Malaysia increase stamp duty from 0.1% to 0.15% from 2022. Many countries don't impose stamp duty for stock trading, including Singapore, US. While China impose 0.1% on the selling side only. Also, Malaysia stamp duty still apply when you invest in foreign market through Malaysia broker. 12/12/2021 11:29 AM kyy123 Why online trading, remisier still get paid from broker, not really understand because i invest my money and did not rely on my remisier, they still get paid, what an easy job lol. 02/01/2022 9:44 PM chinvest17 No more SST in 2022. Actually 0.15% stamp duty do not apply to all stock type 0.10% still apply to Warrant, REIT, Trust, Close-ended Fund. While ETF, no stamp duty until 2025. 08/01/2022 5:47 PM PatienceCounts If i hv an Affin Hwang investment bank collateral online account, can i change it to cash trading account online without going thru the bank officer? 05/02/2022 3:05 PM redhotpepper UobKAYHIAN and M+, which brokerage is better, in term of remisier support? 06/03/2022 9:59 AM happytrader78 anyone using kenanga? im using UOB KAY HIAN quite CHEAP for collateral account, only 0.3%, 0.2%, 0.1% or min RM 8 but would like to explore Kenanga too..

Could be millions of losses over a long span of time. Cheapest may be good for amateurs. 🤣 For serious traders, the most expensive may be the cheapest. 🤣 14/02/2024 8:17 AM Balian de Ibelin besides feed delay. the early morning queueing is another factor. Some cheap cheaper cheapest, you will find that your morning queueing, you will always be the last one in the queue. and each and every day until Jesus comes, you will always be the last one in the queue. You want cheap mah? so dun expect people to work hard when you pay them peanuts monkey wages. 🤣 14/02/2024 8:20 AM DickyMe "i3lurker your broker could be maybank or Maybank Investment Bank. please check. open your mouth to complain and you will get cheaper Posted by Meena12 > Aug 22, 2021 7:22 PM | Report Abuse Hi, Maybank is charging me a minimum of RM28 per transaction for both sale and purchase...

This shows discrimination exist even in financial sectors. It is unprofessional ethics exercised by the financial institution. How are they able to lower fees more than 60% from the usual fees after negotiation? This is criminal act. 14/02/2024 12:08 PM Balian de Ibelin could be the Petaling Street branch? 😝 Sounds like discount on fake watches. 14/02/2024 12:26 PM |
