Is there any fee for opening an account or an minimum deposit ? ( specifically for forex trading)

damn. have been paying fixed price on the most recent purchase. no wonder my average price went up for quite a bit despite my low volume stock buy. thanks for this very educational video and now i could potentially saved near to 60% of my trade fee.

[@ZietInvests]

Great to hear! More to come!

[@Willywillscheng]

@Akina M Otieno Given that successful investing is a rare feat and even rarer on consistent basis, there are many reasons to stay away from investing entirely. I’ve worked hard for my money and avoid putting it in unnecessary peril that is why personally, I don't underestimate the role that professional guidance plays as Herman W Jonas, an astute fund manager who uses high-frequency trading and investment strategies, oversees my investments in stocks, ETFs and Fx making sure that I have a robust portfolio.

[@Haddlly]

Compounding interest dictates that even small sums of money can be turned into fortunes over time. That has been my case since I got working with Herman, providing me with the right investment choice.

[@Friedman323]

I have paid off my mortgage, and have enough saved in my emergency fund before hitting 40 next month. And by God’s Grace, I invested two-thirds of my salary in stocks, ETFs, and bonds. Over time my investments have yielded a little over $92k with Sir Jonas’ help. Looking at building a robust retirement in 2 to 3 years time.

Hello Ziet, huge thumbs up for you on creating informational packed tutorial. Anyway, do you have any concerns or ideas on the delayed market data? Also, I've seen where there're min fees involved for fx (SGD to USD), is this true ?

[@ZietInvests]

Hi, no concern about delayed market data, I use other sources like Yahoo Finance/Google Finance/MarketWatch to get my near-live prices before I buy (i invest, not trade), you can also use their Snapshot feature that costs 1 cent to get live data before you buy (on IBKR). That said, I have a tutorial addressing this coming up next week 😊

[@hashbrown5212]

Hello Ziet, just wanna say you're a lifesaver for making this video for a complete newbie like me who wants to learn investing. Thank you so much for making this video!!! I want to ask if I need any permission from government first to invest overseas, like submit a form to BNM etc or I can just straight up open an IBKR account without doing anything? (am also a malaysian btw) just want to make sure I invest legally so I dont accidentally end up in jail lol since I'm completely new to all this

[@ZietInvests]

Hi, you don't need any official permission from the government to invest overseas, but similar to any other income source, be prepared for audit during tax season so just keep your transaction records/account statement properly, and you should be fine - since there's no foreign investment capital gains tax!😊 Can refer this video for accounts statement: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX6un4h3lr-gbtk

[@ignaciopazgarcia5370]

Amazing content man! Been following you recently. I just turned 18 and I'm opening an account at Interactive Brokers, right now is on the "verification" process. Unfortunately, I started the application before watching this last video of yours, and I didn't check in what Interactive broker subsidiary I was in (the U.S, UK, or other). But that does not affect much right? And about taxes, I'm a student so I don't pay yet, but my country is on the list of tax treatment with the US, so it is better to put your id still right? So that the day I pay taxes, I don't do this. Still, I didn't have the option to not put a number there, I just put my Id and it worked. And I don't know why, But I wasn't able to go through the network page because it said I needed a 20K liquid net worth to trade stocks, which right now at 18 don't have. So just lied. That isn't a problem, is just a formalization. And finally, can you change your commission option (Tired or Fixed) when you start trading more volume? And why the tired is cheaper if you have the pay the other 3 commissions? Thank you.

[@ZietInvests]

Hi Ignacio😊 1. Which IBKR - doesn't matter, as per the pinned comment, the IBKR customer support has noted that it doesn't matter which IBKR you chosen, it will assign one according to your address 2. Tax Identification Number - if your country has tax treaty with the US, then its a big yes! Put that number in haha! I believe you can always update it later, though just to be safe, please confirm this with IBKR live chat customer support: www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=4633&p=chat 3. Pricing structure - you can always change between Tiered or Fixed anytime, it takes 1 business day for approval and you are good to go. Also, as explained in the video, the 3 other commission inside Tiered is verrrryyyyy small, hence it doesn't matter if you are buying in a low volume. The 3 will only be significant when you buy more shares per trade, hence that is when Fixed pricing structure becomes more cost effective.

Great guide! Easy to understand and very informative. I have few questions though. I'm currently living in a country (A) that does not allow crypto trading and have a bank account in my home country (B). Is it allowed to open an IBKR account while living in country A, but the funds will be coming from country B? If I can, should I declare my country in IBKR as country A (currently living and will be doing the trade transactions) or country B (where the funds will be coming from/going to - bank in my home country). Am I able to trade with this kind of set up? Thanks in advance!

Technically, they will still allow your trading permission based on your country residency...so you might still be blocked from having access to crypto (but you can double check with the customer support)

Hi Ziet, this must be the BEST and most comprehensive tutorial on how to open an account. Thank You so much! I do have a few questions. I hope it is ok... I know it has been awhile since you published this video. Q - 1. I am currently self employed with very low income. What would you recommend I should write? Is there a risk they won't approve me? [Not planning on the margin option]. Q-2. My ID says 1 address while my actual residence is a different address. but both in the same country. What would you recommend in terms of verification documents? My bank account states my current address, while my ID and passport are on my older address. Q-3.

Hey Rei, shouldn't be a problem to reapply I think. Best to check with their support team on this!

Hi Ziet! Happy New Year to you and all your fans! I just like to watch your videos…keep up the good works. Proud that we have such a very pro young fellow Malaysian with such knowledge and keen to share. I followed your advice to setup WISE, CIMB SG and also IBKR to purchase US stocks ~1 year ago and bought some shares then. But since they I didn’t made any further purchase on US stocks and have been extremely busy with works and seems a bit forget on the process and perhaps there are something already change or updated? With all the accounts setup, please help to list down on the steps I need to do now if I want to purchase US share/ETF directly. Thanks in advance! Cheers.

Hi Chan! Nothing has changed except the removal of their inactivity fees. Another question - are you on TSG-IBKR or IBKR? My guess is you are under TSG-IBKR since you followed my video ~1 year ago. I'd suggest you to delink from TSG and trade under IBKR if you would like to enjoy a lower commission fee, can follow this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqazm3-Ki9p6bLc Let me know if you have any questions - else feel free to DM me on instagram too!

Hi Ziet, Thanks for this informative video. Super helpful. SG portal has a few different steps as u can imagine. However now at the page where all documentation is uploaded and 'for review'. Guess the next step is just to logout and wait for approval. Am i right?

[@ZietInvests]

Yup that is correct! Give it a day or two and IBKR should e-mail you!

Hi Ziet, - How should I open an account as a student? - Since there seems to be some limitations to students, will I be able to update my information when I'm employed later for these limitations to be lifted?

[@ZietInvests]

Hi Wei Juan, you can definitely update your details later, not a problem! 😄

Hi, Ziet , thanks for your great video, understand that IBKR having TWS trading platform for their client...Is TWS free of charge for PRO account?

[@ZietInvests]

Hi KW, if you mean IBKR PRO, then yes, it is free

[@jbb43513]

hello. Do you have a video about setting up an account / application for options trading on IBKR?

[@ZietInvests]

Hey there, options trading is not something I would do for now, as I'm solely focused on stocks and ETFs.

[@jbb43513]

@@ZietInvests I understand. Was just wondering if you have a general tutorial about options trading setup
