How do I open a Singapore Forex Trading Account?

May 17th, 2010 2 comments

I am interested to start an account in Singapore for Forex Trading. However, there are many things which I do not understand.

When I register an account with SaxoBank SG for example, I will make the necessary application procedures… But how do I actually transfer the real money to my account if I win money?
Does that mean that they will need my private bank account number? So that when I earn money from my Forex Trading Account, they can send my profits to me?

Another question: Besides Saxo Bank SG, which platform is reliable and safe for me to start my Singapore forex trading account?

Can someone help me with Stock Trading Terms?

May 6th, 2010 4 comments

I need help with the stock trading terms in order to learn how to trade stocks online. When I go to the website, there are five ways to order: ‘market’ (which I think means I buy and sell the stock at the market price), but what about ‘limit’, ‘stop limit’, ‘stop’, and ‘trailing stop’? And re: transactions, I can buy and sell, but what does it mean to ‘short’ and ‘cover’? (How are those different from buying and selling?) And for duration, there is ‘day’ and ‘GTC’–to what do these refer? Thanks for any help you can offer with the stock trading terminology.

Online trading, stocks and mutual funds?

May 4th, 2010 3 comments

Can someone give me just a basic rundown on how this works?

Question 1: Is this something you can start doing with little expense, or does this fall under ‘you have to have money to make money’?

Question 2: I’m not trying to get rich quick, but like many of us, my family is short on money right now. Internet jobs are pretty much all a scam, and the job market where I live is awful. I am just looking for a way to get extra cash from time to time and a friend mentioned ameritrade. Comparing stocks and mutual funds, are either something you can do to help pay the rent next month, or are they both long term multi year deals?

Yes, I know I sound desperate, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask about something that can potentially help my family.

Thanks in advance for ANY help.

Is it possible for a foreigner (non-resident) to open a stock trading account in Singapore?

December 20th, 2009 2 comments

Is it possible for a foreigner (non-resident) to open a stock trading account in Singapore? I am considering investing in the stock market in Singapore, however, I am not sure if foreigners are able to do so.

I know that in order to open an offshore bank account in Singapore you will need a passport that is notarized, etc. However, I am not sure about opening a stock trading account. Can anyone give me information on this? Also are there any online trading accounts that I should look into (ie. Ameritrade, Scottrade, ect.)?
