Simple Budget, Simple Life

Ever since I signed up Tiger Brokers to tap on the National Day Promo, it's low transaction fees spurred me to invest beyond local stocks.  Beyond it's low transaction fee and ease of use, I've received: $70 stock voucher to offset my stock purchase; 1 Commission free trading for US or HK stocks; 5 commission-free trading card to be used within 30 days Given that this is my first attempt to buy from Tiger Brokers, I've documented the help I used to make my transaction. It's actually simple. Here's my guide: Set up account and deposit SGD 1. Set up your account and top up SGD into your account. You can refer to my beginner's guide on how to do so here.   I topped up $10,001 to get a $70 stock voucher - on hindsight, I should have topped up $30,001 to get $100 stock voucher since withdrawal is fuss-free. Currency conversion from SGD to your preferred currency 2. Watch this video on how convert your SGD to foreign currency. In my case, I exchanged SGD to HKD. D

I've been seeing a number of articles recommending Tiger Brokers the past 2 months. I'm not investment savvy, but I don't want to miss out a good deal given that there's a National day promo going on.  I only set up my account yesterday night and could start trading today. However, despite the fast speed, I must say it got really confusing at the start. Hence, here's my attempt to create a beginner's guide to setting up your Tiger Brokers based on my experience. Steps via mix of desktop + mobile version (my method) Using desktop for online account opening 1. I first signed up for my account on the desktop using a referral link (click here for mine or key in my code   SBSL8 )  as I find it easier to type on my computer.  Btw, you can use your mobile throughout. This is just my method :)  Using the referral link, you will get the rewards shown in the picture above, especially the stock voucher to offset your stock purchases. For info, I've gotten $70 voucher
