Hi all,

You can do free withdrawals with Oanda. Simply open a StanChart bank account (e.g. E-saver account, minimum deposit $1), link that to your Oanda account, and you can withdraw any amount for free once per calendar month. I've tried the withdrawal a few days ago with no deductions. Deposits are always free.

Once you have the StanChart bank account, you can easily transfer funds to/from any Singapore bank account for free. I've linked my POSBank account to my StanChart bank account.

Thus, it is perfect for small fry like me; the only cost you'll ever incur is the low spread. I haven't tried any trading yet though, as I'm still practising.

With such a wonderful setup, newbies can start with just $10 and aim to make $0.10 - $0.20 per trade, with $0.10 stop loss. This is just an example, but with the amount you are risking, it won't cause you to lose sleep.

CWT

sold at 1.29 at 0.500 rebound level as planned to correct the mistake (not cut as planned on 29 Apr 2011).

stop loss signal triggered at 1.29 on 29 Apr 2011 (XD date, dividend S$0.025 per share) but did not cut due to my human weakness - hope - hope the price to rise again to recover loss. On the contrary, the price dropped to as low as 1.17 on 23 May 2011!
