Hi, any traders here located in the Bangkok, Na Kluea, Hua Hin, Rayong area? I am taking a break from my regular trading operation in Scandinavia for a few weeks of vacation in Thailand. The SET market is very different (no horrible MIFID2) from the European Exchanges. It would be interesting to...

That is interesting indeed. I have been looking for a good setup for trading the Thai SET. I use Phillip Capital in Singapore now, but they do not allow short selling Thai stocks for example. It is hard to find any good options in Europe to access the Thai stockmarket. I have only briefly...

Nordica Life, good people over there in Luxembourg. As for futures trading in the ISK account, the Swedish OMX contract is allowed. I think that some banks also allow trading in DAX futures. I mostly trader cash equity myself, so not 100% sure.

No, after the introduction of ISK the Capital Insurance structure has become rather uncommon. Foreign providers like Victory Life or Friends Provident have for various reasons stopped offering the service.

Hi, I can answer most questions about trading and tax in Sweden. If you want to trade and tax in Sweden, there are four structures you can use. 1. Traditional capital taxation for a individual investor - 30% tax on profits, 30% tax on dividends. Capital losses are deductable against other types...

Thanks for the responses. What about cost of trading the Thai SET? I am used to trading the Nasdaq Nordic markets. Cost of transaction here is really low and my commission level is less than 1 basis point. That is with clearing and all. I spoke to a trader friend in Australia. For...

Interesting, not that many traders bother with the Thai SET. But that is one of the reasons why I think it is an interesting market. Since I only trade intraday, issues like dividends and closing short positions before settlement are no problem. I have an account with Phillip Capital in...

The SGX derivatives membership fees looks alright. But I cannot find any similar information for SGX Stock membership. Looks like I will have to go via an existing member. There are apparently some rebates for market makers and liquidity providers. But according to the broker I use, those...

Hi! I have recently opened a stock trading account with one of the bigger banks in Singapore. After some negotiations we agreed on a decent commission percentage and leverage level. All good that far, but then the issue of clearing came up. According to my broker, the SGX charge 0.0325% (plus...

Hi, Any full time traders in Singapore that want to meet up and have a beer and a chat about trading? I have been trading the European equity markets full-time for many years, but it would be interesting to discuss trading in other parts of the world as well. I will visit Singapore later this...

I have the same question. I have opened demo accounts with a number of Thai brokers. KT Zmico and Nomura for example, but the websites and trading platforms seems pretty unstable and therefore nothing one would like to rely on. Especially during some kind of macro event. Anyone with local...

Thanks sle. Yes, the NVDR situation is something I have to look into more closely, there is nothing like it in the European markets. But from what I seen so far, a NVDR share trade the same way (and at exactly the same price) as the local share. Voting rights are not important to me since I only...
