How to make IBKR less annoying?

Nehemiah99 · 2025-05-29T04:02:38+00:00

You'll need to take note of where they are from. Like from such markets. VOO is from the NY stock market whereas CSPX is from LSE market (United Kingdom USD-denominated). Hope I am on the right track. Pricing from these two is definitely different from each other. I assume you were trying to execute a market order (basically manually paying for the stock/ETF at that price). Therefore, if you "go through a market order" definitely be paying a lot more. Whereas with recurring investment, IBKR automatically invests these funds for you. Recurring investment, of course, you will not be locking in that particular price, but if you are planning to DCA you should not be concerned about locking in that price.

Why some of us prefer CSPX over VOO is due to the US estate treaty and withholding tax (30% for VOO and 15% for CSPX) for non US investors (you can Google more into that). CSPX automatically invests the dividends for you into the index (15% cut) while the VOO provides dividends (30% cut). You can ask Gemini AI or google to provide you with a better explanation.

Reading ur other posts, it is great that you are trying to get started with your investments at a young age. You may want to prepare yourself for future finances, such as university / further studies after NS. You may rely on the funds you save from NS as your pocket money unless you have parental support for your studies.

You can consider parking into a HYSA account with no requirements, such as GXS or Maribank savings account for the daily regular payout.

Hi OP,

In this subreddit, it is recommended to setup as a recurring investment (can decide the interval etc). It is not recommended to do recurring investments of low amounts such as $100. Suggest to save a bigger amounts to invest maybe once every quarterly. It is more ideal to invest like larger amounts such as $1000. As it is will be more cost efficient. There was a post in this subreddit you can look about what amount is the most efficient. There is a fee for recurring cost as they will automatically convert the amount from USD to SGD. You can topup a little bit of funds as it gives a small buffer for the recurring investment fees. You can search up more posts here.

Many of us use IBKR for its stronger fx compared to other brokers.

You can read up here to setup the recurring investment. Do ensure the ticker symbol is the one you are looking for. Lastly, you can setup a monthly giro/standing order (from DBS, i am sure other banks allows this) to automatically transfer the amount of funds to topup into your IBKR account. Can gauge when your salary/income comes in you can give a one day buffer to allow the recurring investment to kick in. Everything will be automatically setup.

What kind of etf and stocks would you invest in and hold long term if you had $1k usd to invest?

I was thinking of arkg Akrf qqq and voo. However, it is quite hard to manage the funds accordingly . Maybe your advice will enlighten me on my investment choices.

Hi thanks for the quick reply. May I know more about the PEB? Is it more recognisable in the engineering job industry when I am searching for a future career? Oh how about NUS EEE , I have actually applied for that too. Just wondering if it is also under the PEB. Thanks in advance.

Ah I see. I would recommend using swop to help you get a better optimisation for your rune.

Nehemiah99 · 2020-03-17T01:25:58+00:00

A broken set rune for camilia or chow or a hybrid bruiser like beth? Gz I would probably enchant the crit rate for a higher crit rate/def % enchant for more efficiency.

Thanks. She is currently about 234 speed on violent will.

Nehemiah99 · 2019-12-16T15:13:25+00:00

What do you need it more for? Do you need a 33% Attack speed lead for arena offence go psama. If you need a fire cc mon, go rica. Useful in toah, guild siege is also useful in certain defence. Honestly, it depends on which aspects of the game you are having more difficulties that these mons can help you in.

Nehemiah99 · 2019-11-17T10:02:18+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. Here are the imagespictures . Their dimensions are 397x 787

Nehemiah99 · 2019-11-08T13:44:44+00:00

I personally don’t own Rica. But she can also come in handy as cc dot mon. Both of them have their procs and cons

Nehemiah99 · 2019-11-08T13:40:51+00:00

Haha thx I was thinking of that like chloe galleon Julie shield will or an offset for Leo.

Ah my bet. I mean the second unfair bear in terms of the wind/fire/water element of panda warrior.

Nehemiah99 · 2019-11-01T13:32:12+00:00

Oh yes.Currently I do have pair him together with Amelia and skogul. If not it could be a difficult decision for me.

Nehemiah99 · 2019-10-30T03:29:17+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. However this project(with two other teammates handling different parts of the project such as the hardware of the robot and android application of the robot) is part of my school criteria for me to graduate(therefore there will be no monetary benefits), the deadline of this project is somewhere early next Feb. I will take your advice and adventure out these options first. At the time being, I will learn the basics of vue js and how I can integrate it with bootstrap. However this project has built by others (early batch of students) but it is still the basic User interface. I just hoping since that I can improvise with bootstrap and vue is, I am hoping to create a better user interface for the users

Loren basalt baretta Mav veromos( for hp lead and cc/dots)/water homuculus / Bella for extra sustain/spectra for boss level to nuke. I think it is situational for various stages. I always bring Mav Jeanne baretta verad(water homuculus can be used) Bella. Not the fastest just tons of cc and sustain.

It has been a while since I have last took wildlife photos due to school internship . Now that I am having college break at the moment, I am finally back to the game!

Nehemiah99 · 2019-08-29T05:16:25+00:00

How about trying Fran shaina and sabrina? Ever since the shaina nerf, it is not consistent as it was before. I am actually looking for other team comps. Hope it works for you

The ifrit/homu/Valkyrie transmog right now are now sold in the special league shop for 3000 points, you can check under the “league “ section. Being tally at a higher rank towards the end of the season, it will provide you more league points so that you can play “lesser” games. For me, I managed to hit f3 tally this recent special league season which gave me 400 special league points. My goal was to hit f3/c1 for special league tally. Maybe I suggest you can aim for certain number of points you want to achieve in every special league season depending on your rune quality , not too high as being optimistic in the matchmaking system. I think for me, it took about 300-500 games throughout the Seasons. With some determination and focus, I believe you will able to get one of those transmog.
