0 commission means the platform be very bad for execution speed

Is anyone switching from ibkr to tos because of this? Anything to take note?

I signed up with TOS (before TDA acquisition) more than 10 years ago when they just started their Singapore office because of their best in class trading platform used by professional traders. Though I've not tried many platforms, I still believe they are one of the best around.

TD Ameritrade Singapore announces zero commissions for US market trades from Singapore

Any caveat for this?

Not a valid assumption, TDA isn't Robinhood. I've used TDA for a couple of trades and they went through perfectly.

Well I would reserve judgement on that til august to see how much their server can handle

If too many ppl switch over and they can't handle the load, then it will be a problem

Heard they have this problem in the US for tos

hav been using TOS then TD for a while thou not a frequent trader but their features suits me jus fine. will still be using TD with or without $0 commissions.
but moi concern is it was not too long ago they say $0 not for non-US resident. now why they policy shift and more importantly how they make money?
via increase bid/ask spread? via dividend handling?

and time for local brokers to step up their game and offerings.

Thanks for sharing. How does the TDA orders filling statistics compared to other trading platform?

Hey guys, quick question here. I noticed that when I xfer money to IB, it stays in SGD, and when I buy a US stock, I am actually borrowing USD from IB (if i am not mistaken). However in my TD account, I bank xfer SGD in and I saw it auto converts to USD. Am I right to say that TD auto converts SGD to USD, whereas IB keep your deposit in SGD?

Can i ask the best way to fund TD account with usd?

shuld i convert into usd first? or just use dbs sgd remit and let them convert to usd?


Also, any1 willing to share referral code!

A valid concern indeed. I would prefer to pay my current commission to avoid any compromise in order fulfilling and service level standard.

If US TOS is affected, wouldn't this also impact trade transaction outside US or are they using different server?

Yup! TDA needs to make margin somewhere. I won't be surprised it would come from the bid/ask spread since this is also transaction based like commission.

 

[moolala]

may i ask those who used TD, are there any fees to shorting shares such as locate fees on both large cap and hard to borrow stocks for TD?

anything to note if coming from ibkr background?

I believe TD Ameritrade used to provide free market data, if you just funded your account. Now with zero fees and free market data, this becomes a compelling choice. I wonder will guys like Saxo up their game? They are now very expensive in comparison.
