1) Yes. Enter your orders when the London stock exchange is open, in the evenings Singapore time.
2) No, FX spreads are roughly the same across the month.

it matters because the price changes. today buy 58.9, maybe tomorrow drop to 58.7usd, the day after raise to 59. Forex same thing; but i heard its less recommended to the change on weekends. If usd weakens, you may want to change abit more; but then you wont really know how much more it will go down. Anyway both is between much out of your control. There may be some experts that could time the market though.

I also started recently with iwda. Control what you can and dont get so disturbed with what you cannot. Just make sure to have the cash ready every quarter and buy. Rebalance and manage your portfolio like how you wanted it to be.

Surprisingly, u can notice the fx spread changes between 0.65%, 0.8%, and 1%. However, u should also consider fx rate too.

Hi, can someone remind again what is the amount to buy IWDA using SCB vs using IB? Thanks
