Thanks. I know its nothing to do with the SIN PR, but rather something to do with DBSV being registered here and me being a CDN citizen....I am curious as to what is the exact ruling behind not allowing me to trade on NA markets is since the DBS rep couldn't give me a satisfactory reply.

Thanks Mike....I've been checking out others in Singapore such as Kay Hian, POEMS, CMC, SAXO. All apply the rules the same meaning that if you are a CDN or US citizen you cannot trade on CDN or US stocks.

Any one can recommend "non-local" registered online brokerage which is safe and not complicated in terms of requirements etc?

Approach a Canadian broker, and see if you can transfer funds, to one of their accounts for trading..or if you have family back in Canada, do it through them. I deal in Taiwan through my wifes account and Poems in Singapore.

Use Interactive Brokers (IB) if you want to DayTrade or Scalp. Otherwise you can even use something like Options Express (OX) or Saxobank's platform. The main difference is in the commissions. IB charges only US 1.00 per 100 shares trade, one way. Which means it's only 2 buck per round trip per 100 shares.

Forget about those platforms that local banks provide if you want to trade 4 a living.

hi,

The application process at IB is quite lengthy! it took them a bit to get back to me on a few questions + their complance department is performing a couple of checks. anyway: I am opening an account . then I'll have to TT the funds. but I must say that the minium amount to open an account can be a turn off for many...

Ive tried Poems yesterday for the 1st time and I was a bit disappointed that you couldn't trade ETFs on the NYSE (could only find them on SGX). Maybe I just didn't spend enough time looking for it.

I tried IG and I like it :)

CMC seems quite complicated.. have not tried the rest.

I agree with HouseRocker. IB are the cheapest in the market and good customer service and tech support (imo). Esignal is also good as are CQG which has great lengthy back testing capabilities.
Saxo are expensive.
