sorry guys...just want to check for those who port the counters from local brokerages to TD, there is no unit cost registered (zero cost) and the P/L all messed up. How do you solve this issue. Can we update the unit cost ourselves in TD?

I dont get the scammer part.

I split my account so I wont see my long term account as I trade. This stops me from my warm butter hands

thanks for the tip. i read robinhood traders accounts got hacked by the thousand and many lost their money.
I like your plan. One account for investment. one account for day trading. will do likewise once TD approve application.

Just completed the test transfer, it was surprisingly fast.
eMulti-Currency US$ Remit to TDA WellsFargo.

For the transaction I did there were no bank charges.
For reference I completed my DBS S$-> FSM S$-US$ -> DBS US$-> TDA US Wells Fargo bank within 7 business days.

Hi May I know roughly how long it takes for FSM US$ to be withdrawn to DBS US$ ?

Due to the launch of $0 commissions we are experiencing longer than expected account opening times. We will contact you if any additional information is required for your application. You will receive a confirmation email once your account has been approved and ready for funding. We strongly encourage you to fund your account through electronic funding or wire. Please visit the Funding & Transfers page on our website for more details. Funding deposits can be confirmed by logging into thinkorswim desktop or mobile.

Did they inform you if they need additional information?

Want to give some info to those who want to transfer SGD to TD using DBS.

Dates and time given are all SG.
22 Nov 2020 (Sun) - Sent SGD from DBS to TD's DBS account.
24 Nov 2020 (Tues) 1400 hours - TD received my funds at a forex rate of 0.7443.
25 Nov 2020 (Wed) 0000 hours - Received funds in my account.

According to investing.com, the historical forex rate is as follows:
24 Nov 2020 - Low: 0.7434 High: 0.7455
23 Nov 2020 - Low: 0.7426 High: 0.7462

Given the above info, the rate given by TD is quite good as it lies in the middle of 23 and 24 Nov.

I really like trading on TD because the software TOS is excellent, even though it does not look good. No hiccups at all and loads of data and tools for you to use. On top of that, commission-free trading makes things so much easier especially when I create my own spreadsheet to record my transactions. No need to bother about fees or charges, just share price x no. of shares.

I have another account with Fundsupermart. The trading experience on FSM is not good and Not enough tools and data to use. Also, they only have 'Limit Orders' to execute trades. Sometimes when I want to trade fast, I cannot use 'Market Order'. Updating my spreadsheet is also more troublesome due to various charges involved. System is also not stable like today (25 Nov 2020), I cannot log into my account around 2pm. The positive thing about FSM is the transfer of funds to the trading account. It is instantaneous when you use FAST.

I also have an account with IBKR but have not used it yet. Maybe those who have used it can share their experience compared to TD.

Can we use TD to buy LSE stocks?

I have another account with Fundsupermart. The trading experience on FSM is not good and transaction records in the system are not detailed enough compared to TD. You need to wait for them to send the confirmation note to see a detailed breakdown of your transactions. Updating my spreadsheet is also more troublesome due to various charges involved. System is also not stable like today (25 Nov 2020), I cannot log into my account around 2pm. The positive thing about FSM is the transfer of funds to the trading account.
