Morning! Fantastic info u got here. I would like to ask a question, if you don’t mind.
In the Brokerage Fee section, there’s the percentage if Cash. For non-cash, there’s 100k. Why no same info for cash? Does it mean that for cash, no matter how big u trade, the percentage is the same?
Thanks!
And keep up the good work!

Hi, some broker does not offer special rate cash account. The broker that do have normally their fee is flat which is not dependent of the trading amount.

I think your table will be more complete if you indicate if each of these is a nominee account or direct holder account.
I have Public account and its a nominee account. I am looking for a direct holder account, which one recommended?

By the way I have Nominee account with HLeBroking and Direct account with Jupiter Securities. Both of them are good.

https://www.publicinvestbank.com/pbswecos/ (Public Investment bank)

What is the different between this 2.

I got an untrusted warning when I try to click on the public invest link. Do you get the same?

I just open an Public Sharelink account (I believe this is what you guys mean for Public Online Share) which is using the PBebank login.

Well, it looks like Jupiter has the lowest fees and reliable. I think active trader should use it then?

I don’t have any account with CIMB itrade. Normally any broker does not ask for minimum number of stock to follow.

Intraday means that you buy & sell the same stock on the same day.
