Newly listed shares are not available for fractional share trading till the following quarter.

Yes. 

No market depth will be provided

Based on the currency settlement taking into account the indicative rate, overall trading position and Foreign Exchange Administration rules.

No. 

Yes. Up to 10,000 shares or USD 100,000 per order at one time. If you would like to trade above this, please split your orders accordingly

The execution time of orders will follow the US Eastern Standard Time only.

All orders shall be accorded with “best execution” or on a “best-effort “basis. 

Based on the SEC Investor Publication advise, SEC regulations do not state that a trade has to be executed within a set period. For more information, please refer to https://www.sec.gov/ 

Many firms use automated systems to handle the orders they receive from their customers. In deciding how to execute orders, the broker has a duty to seek the best execution that is reasonably available for its customers' orders.  

That means we as your broker must evaluate the orders received and aggregate and periodically assess it in the most favourable terms of execution. 

Price improvement opportunity is an important factor a broker should consider in executing client orders. Other factors include the speed and the likelihood of execution. 

For example: Let's say you enter a market order to sell 500 shares of a stock. The current quote is $20. The broker may be able to send your order to a market or a market maker where your order would have the possibility of getting a price better than $20. If your order is executed at $20.05, you would receive $10,025.00 for the sale of your stock – $25.00 more than if your broker had only been able to get the current quote for you. 

Of course, the additional time it takes to execute orders may result in you getting a worse price than the current quote – especially in a fast-moving market. So, the broker is required to consider whether there is a trade-off between providing you with the possibility – but not the guarantee – of a better price and the extra time it may take to do so. 

Not specifically in relation to your order but in general.  

SEC’s rules are aimed at improving public disclosure of order execution and routing practices require all market centers that trade national market system securities to make monthly, electronic disclosures of basic information concerning their quality of executions on a stock-by-stock basis, including how market orders of various sizes are executed relative to the public quotes.  These reports must also disclose information about effective spreads – the spreads actually paid by investors whose orders are routed to a particular market center. In addition, market centers must disclose the extent to which they provide executions at prices better than the public quotes to investors using limit orders. 

These rules also require brokers that route orders on behalf of customers to disclose, on a quarterly basis, the identity of the market centers to which they route a significant percentage of their orders. In addition, brokers must respond to the requests of customers interested in learning where their individual orders were routed for execution during the previous six months. 

We have provided this information as a service to investors. It is neither a legal interpretation nor a statement of SEC policy. If you have questions concerning the meaning or application of a particular rule, please email us or consult with an attorney who specializes in securities law.

Your foreign trading limit will be separated by currency available.

For example, you have a trading limit of RM 4,000 and USD 1,000 respectively. You can use either USD or Ringgit Malaysia to settle the foreign purchase worth USD1,000. If the settlement currency is USD and the purchase is more than the available trading limit, you’ll need to top up and convert funds from Ringgit Malaysia to USD. Likewise, for insufficient HKD trading limit, please do the same.

Protip: You can’t use two currencies at the same time to settle the foreign/local trade. For example, you are not allowed to use USD and Ringgit Malaysia at the same time to settle the US trade. Likewise, you can’t use both HKD and Ringgit Malaysia to settle HK trade.

No. You should, instead, cancel and place a new order.

Fractional share trading allows you to invest in a portion of a company's stock, rather than having to buy a whole share. This makes investing more affordable for people who don't have a lot of funds to buy a whole share. With Rakuten Trade, you can buy or sell as little as 0.01 or 0.0001 unit respectively.

Be advised that US shares priced below USD 1 are only tradeable in a whole unit. It is more cost-effective to sell fractional shares at a higher price so that the sales can cover the fees.

It gives investors the opportunity to (i) diversify a portfolio easily, (ii)adopt a dollar cost averaging trading strategy, and (iii) the ability to invest in high-priced stocks that may have been out of reach (financially) previously.

Our custodian Interactive Brokers will sell the existing stock on your behalf. For specific stock support, please contact our customer support team or chat with us.

Stop Limit order allows you to set both Stop Price and Limit Price, while Stop Market order only allows the setting up of a Stop Price.

It can be either Buy Stop Market order or Sell Stop Market order. For a Buy Stop Market order, it’s an order to buy a stock once the price reaches at or above a specified price (Stop Price).  It then becomes a Buy Market order and will be matched based on the best available price.

For a Sell Stop Market order, it’s an order to sell a stock once the price of stock reaches at or is below the Stop Price. The Sell Stop Market order then becomes a Sell Market order, and it will be matched based on the best available price.

A Stop Price is the price in a Stop Market order or Stop Limit order that triggers the creation of a Market order or Limit order.

With a Buy Stop Market order, you can set a Stop Price above the current last done price of the stock. If the stock rises to your Stop Price or above, your Buy Stop Market order becomes a Buy Market order.

For example, ABC stock is currently trading at RM6.00 per share. You believe RM8 price level is a psychological price level. Once the stock is traded at RM8.00 it could go up much higher. You only want to set the order once this trend is confirmed. Therefore, you set the Stop Price to RM8.

If ABC stock rises to RM8.00 or higher, your Buy Stop Market order becomes a Buy Market Order. ABC stock is then purchased at the best available price but;

If ABC stock stays below RM8.00, your Buy Stop Market order isn’t triggered, and no shares are purchased.

With a Sell Stop Market order, you can set a Stop Price below the current last done price of the stock. If the stock falls to your Stop Price or below, your Sell Stop Market order becomes a Sell Market order.

For example, you purchased CDE stock for RM10 a few months ago. It’s currently trading at RM20 per share (RM10 profit). Your goal is to make at least RM5 per share if the price were to drop. So, you create a Sell Stop order with Stop Price at RM16.50.

If CDE stock falls to RM16.50 or lower, your Sell Stop Market order becomes a Sell Market order and the CDE stock is sold at the best available price

If the CDE stock stays above RM16.50, your Sell Stop Market order isn’t triggered, and you keep your shares.

It can be either Buy Stop Limit order or Sell Stop Limit order. A Stop Limit order consists of Stop Price and a Limit Price. For a Buy Stop Limit order, it’s an order to buy a stock once the price of stock reaches at or is above a specified price (Stop Price). Once the Stop Price (Trigger Price) is reached or is higher than, a Buy Stop Limit order becomes a Buy Limit order and your order matches at your Limit Price or better.

For a Sell Stop Limit order, it’s an order to sell a stock once the price of stock reaches at or below a specified price (Stop Price). Once the Stop Price (Trigger Price) is reached or below, a Sell Stop Limit order becomes a Sell Limit order and your order is matched at your Limit Price or better.

Keep in mind that short-term market fluctuations may prevent your order from being matched or cause the order to trigger at an unfavourable price or not triggered at all. For example, if the market jumps beyond both the Stop Price and the Limit Price, the Stop will be triggered, but the Limit order may not be matched depending on the market.

Also, once your stop order becomes a Limit order, there has to be a buyer and seller on both sides of the trade for the Limit order to match/execute. If there aren’t enough shares in the market at your Limit Price, it may take multiple matches to fill the entire order, or the order may not be filled at all.

With a Buy Stop Limit order, you can set a Stop Price above the current last done price of the stock. If the stock increases to your Stop Price or above, the order becomes a Buy Limit order. Shares will only be purchased at your Limit Price or lower.

For example, EFG stock is currently trading at RM5 per share. You think that if EFG stock reaches RM8 it may go higher. You don’t want to pay more than RM8.05 for EFG stock, so you set a Limit Price at RM8.05.

If EFG stock rises to RM8 or higher, your Buy Stop Limit order becomes a Buy Limit Order and the stock is purchased if shares are available at RM8.05 or lower.

If EFG stock stays below RM8, a Buy Limit order isn’t triggered, and no shares are purchased.

With a Sell Stop limit order, you can set a Stop Price below the current last done price of the stock. If the stock falls to your Stop Price or below, it triggers a Sell Limit order. Shares will only be sold at your limit price or higher.

For example, JKR stock is currently trading at RM10 per share. To protect yourself in case JKR stock begins falling, you set a Stop Price at RM8. You also don’t want to receive less than RM7.95 per share, so you set a Limit Price at RM7.95.

If JKR stock falls to RM8 or below, your Sell Stop Limit order becomes a Sell Limit order and the stock is sold if shares are available at RM7.95 or higher.

If JKR stock stays above RM8, a limit order isn’t triggered, and you keep your shares.

On the buy or sell order pad, select Stop Market at the Order Type and set your desired Stop Price.

Stop Price for Buy Stop Market order must be greater than (>) last done price.

Stop Price for Sell Stop Market order must be less than (<) last done price.

On the buy or sell order pad, select Stop Limit at the Order Type and set your desired Stop Price and Limit Price.

Stop Price for Buy Stop Limit order must be greater than (>) last done price. Limit Price for Buy Stop Limit order must be greater than or equal to (≥) Stop Price.

Stop Price for Sell Stop Limit order must be less than (<) last done price. Limit Price for Sell Stop Limit order must be less than or equal to (≤) Stop Price.

Example:

A Stop Price is the price in a Stop Market order that triggers the creation of a Market order. The Market order will match on best available price.

It could have been due to one of the following reasons.

- No ready buyer or seller

- Rejected from the Exchange

- Other reasons but not limited to above

- No ready buyer or seller

- The fluctuating market gaps, where Stop Price is triggered but Limit order is waiting to be matched or not matched

- Order is triggered, but Limit Price is outside the range of Static Price Limit

For example, if the last done price is RM2, you set a Buy Stop Price to RM2.01 and Set Buy Limit Price RM2.30. However, the market gap up to RM2.50 for last done price and traded with RM2.49 for best buyer and RM2.50 for best seller. Your Buy Stop Price is triggered, but your Buy Limit Price is lower, RM2.30 and is currently in the queue.

For example, for a Sell Stop Limit order, if the last done price is RM2, you set a Stop Price to RM1.99, and set Limit Price RM1.60. However, the market gap down to RM1.50 for last done price with RM1.50 for best buyer and RM1.51 for best seller. Your Stop Price, RM1.99 is triggered, but your Limit Price is higher, RM1.60 and is currently in the queue.

Generally, it allows you to manage your investment risks better. It lets you to decide at what price to buy or sell depending on market conditions.

We encourage investor to understand the differences and importance of order types before making the right decision which can help you to achieve your investment goal and to manage your investment risk.

We will adjust your shareholding to a lesser quantity before market trading starts on the ex-date. We highly recommend checking your order beforehand to prevent overselling.

We will adjust your shareholding to a lesser quantity before market trading starts, on the ex-date. We highly recommend checking your order beforehand to prevent overselling.

We will adjust your shareholding to a lesser quantity before market trading starts, on the ex-date. We highly recommend checking your order beforehand to prevent overselling.

As the share price will be adjusted upward, on the ex-date, there is a possibility that your Buy Stop Market order will be triggered if the share price is greater than or equal to your Stop Price. If triggered, your order will be a Market order once the market starts trading. Please make sure there is a sufficient cash balance to settle the outstanding purchase once your order is matched.

For example, a share consolidation exercise to consolidate every two (2) existing shares into one (1) ordinary share. Let’s assume that yesterday’s closing price was RM1.00. That means, once the market starts trading on ex-date, the market price will be around RM2.00. If you have an existing Buy Stop Market order of 1,000 units with Stop Price of RM1.10, your Buy Stop Market order will be triggered and will become a Market order. It’ll be matched at market price e.g., RM2.00 and your gross purchase will be RM2,000.00 instead of RM1,100.00.

Protip: Stop Price is not Limit Price. Buy Market order will match at the best available selling price.

As the share price will be adjusted upward on the ex-date, there is a possibility that your Buy Stop Limit order will be triggered if the share price is greater than or equal to your Stop Price. It’ll become a Limit order and will either be matched or queued once the market starts trading. You may cancel, amend, or keep your open order so long as it hasn’t yet been matched.

As the share price will be adjusted downward on the ex-date, there is a possibility your Sell Stop Market order will be triggered if the share price is less than or equal to your Stop Price. If triggered, it’ll become a Market order once the market starts trading. You may cancel, amend, or keep your open order so long as it hasn’t yet been matched.

For example, a subdivision of every 1 existing ordinary share will become 2 ordinary shares. Let’s assume that yesterday’s closing price was RM2.00. That means, once the market starts trading on ex-date, the market price will be around RM1.00. If you have an existing Sell Stop Market order of 1,000 units with a Stop Price of RM1.90, your Sell Stop Market order will be triggered and will become a Market order. It’ll be matched at market price e.g., RM1.00 and your gross sales will be RM1,000.00 instead of RM1,900.00. Please be informed that the new shares of 1,000 units will be available for trading on the listing date as per the company’s announcement.

Protip: Stop Price is not Limit Price. Sell Market order will match at best available buyer price.

As the share price will be adjusted downward on the ex-date, there is a possibility your Sell Stop Limit order will be triggered if the share price is less than or equal to your Stop Price. Once triggered, it’ll become a Limit order. The Limit order will either be matched or queued once the market starts trading. You may cancel, amend, or keep your open order.

As the share price will be adjusted downward on the ex-date, you may either cancel, amend, or keep your open order.

As the share price will be adjusted downward on the ex-date, you may either cancel, amend, or keep your open order.

We highly recommend monitoring any GTD or open orders for any Corporate Action activities. If the order has not yet matched, you can still cancel or amend the order if you prefer, as Corporate Actions normally involve a change of price and/or quantity on the ex-date.

Yes, but it’s limited to the select ADR shares. Please refer to the tradeable here

The standard fee of USD0.01 to USD0.03 per ADR share, subject to announcement, is applied. If there is an available USD cash balance, ADR fees will first be settled against that followed by the MYR balance if USD is insufficient.

It is a fee charged for holding ADR stocks and is charged as per below:

• For non-dividend paying ADRs, there will be an announcement of the ex-date and the fee is deducted from the available cash balance in your Cash Upfront account on the payment date. This transaction is recorded under cash movement as well as the monthly statement.
• For dividend paying ADRs, it will be applied at the time of dividend announcement (ex-date). The dividend payouts will be transferred minus the ADR fee. It will also appear in your corporate action statement.

We will send you a notification via email to top up available cash to cover the shortage of funds for the fee

Leveraged ETFs seek to provide returns in multiples of the underlying benchmark or index it tracks. Leveraged ETFs generally seek to provide a multiple (i.e 200%, 300%) of the daily return of an index or other benchmark for a single day before fees and expenses.

These exchange traded funds (ETFs) often use derivative products such as swaps, options, and futures contracts to accomplish their objectives.

The use of leverage as well as derivative instruments can cause a leveraged Exchange Traded Fund (ETFs) to be more volatile and subject to extreme price movements. Hence, these ETFs pose high or aggressive investment risk exposure.

For examples, Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X shares (SPXL), aims for daily investment results before fees and expenses, of 300% the daily performance of index. The fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period different than a trading day.

Alert: Leveraged and inverse ETFs typically are designed to achieve their stated performance objectives for a single day. Some investors might invest in these ETFs with the expectation that the ETFs may meet their stated daily performance objectives over a long period of time as well. Investors should be aware that the performance of these ETFs over a period longer than one day can differ significantly from their stated daily performance objectives

Inverse ETFs, are sometimes referred to as “short” exchange traded fund (ETF), and they seek to provide the opposite of the single day performance of the index or benchmark they track.

Inverse ETFs are often marketed as a way to profit from, or hedge exposure, in downward moving markets. Some inverse ETFs also use leverage, to achieve a return that is a multiple of the opposite performance of the underlying index or benchmark (i.e -100%, -200%, -300%).

These ETFs pose high or aggressive investment risk exposure as they may also use derivative instruments to accomplish their objectives. As such, inverse ETFs are volatile and provide the potential for significant losses.

For example, Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3X shares (SPXS), seeks daily investment results before fees and expenses, of 300% of the inverse (or opposite) of the daily performance of index. The fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period different than a trading day.

Alert: Leveraged and inverse ETFs typically are designed to achieve their stated performance objectives daily for a single day. Some investors might invest in these ETFs with the expectation that the ETFs may meet their stated daily performance objectives over the long period as well. Investors should be aware that performance of these ETFs over a period longer than one day can differ significantly from their stated daily performance objectives.

Yes but only for those on the tradeable list for U.S. Markets. L&I ETFs listed on Bursa Malaysia are not tradeable via Rakuten Trade.

Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, are becoming more and more popular with individual investors partly due to its simplicity. Most ETFs are portfolios that track a major index, charge low fees, and can be bought and sold easily on popular stock exchanges. For all these reasons, many investors consider ETFs to be ideal “buy and hold” investments.

On the other hand, Leveraged and Inverse ETF are usually designed to achieve their stated performance objectives daily for a single day. Therefore, a buy and hold on L&I ETF for more than the stated period is not recommended.

Be sure to read the Investment Objective in the prospectus of the ETFs, principal investment strategies, risks and costs involved.

You can find the prospectuses on the websites of the financial firms/fund houses that issue a given ETF. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are usually designed to achieve their stated performance objectives for a single day.

Although ETFs are designed to provide investment results that generally correspond to the performance of their respective underlying indices, they may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the indices because of expenses and other factors.

The performance of these ETFs over a period longer than a single day can vary significantly from their stated daily performance objectives.

Day traders or active investors who are bullish about the market and wish to seek a return that is 200% or 300% of the return of its benchmark underlying assets/securities in a single day.

OR

Day traders or active investors are bearish about the market and wish to seek a return that is -100%, -200% or -300% of the return of its benchmark underlying assets/securities in a single day.

Returns on a leveraged or inverse ETF over longer periods can differ significantly from the performance (or inverse of the performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time.

For example, ProShares Ultra S&P 500 ETF (SSO), The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the Index. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective over a period greater than a single day.

If the S&P 500 index were to lose 10% on one day, and then gain 10% the next day, the S&P 500 starts at the round value of 1400, it would lose 140 points on day one to close at 1260. The next day, it would rise 10%, or 126 points, to close at 1386. The total loss from this two day move is 14 points, or 1%.

Supposing that SSO started out at a value of $60 per share, SSO should lose 20% of its value on the first day. The ETF would close at a value of $48. The next day, it should rise 20% from $48 to $57.60 per share.

At the end of two days, the S&P 500 would have lost 1% of its value. By contrast, the SSO ETF would have lost 4% of its value. This is not "tracking error," however, since the ETF met its daily objective.

Mother warrant shares is normally issued by the listed company with the help of investment bank as the underwriter, and structured warrant is issued by the market maker who normally are the investment bankers.

Mother share warrant prospectus and structured warrants shares prospectus often varied from each other.
The prospectus of the mother share warrant and structured warrant are available on the Bursa Malaysia website under company annoucement.

Yes if they are company warrants. Structured warrants can't be converted on our platform. 

Sorry no. Its a cash settlement option only. 

Yes.

No but do check how much you will need to successfully to fully perform your trade (s).

Step 1: Login to the dashboard

Step 2: Access the Menu screen “Currency Exchange”. Alternatively, you could also tap on My Account for similar function.

Step 3: Tap on the ($) icon (circled in red) and you’ll be taken to the foreign funds screen.

Step 4: On the foreign funds screen, choose to convert your cash from Ringgit Malaysia into either USD or HKD. You’ll be able to see the indicative rate that will be used at time of conversion. 

Step 5: After you’ve decided how much you want to convert, key in your trading pin and click CONFIRM. In real-time, you’ll see the updated cash amount in the selected currency on the My Account tab.

No.

Yes you can. Steps to perform the conversion can be found on our website (Tip sheets).

Yes. For example, if you convert RM4,000 into USD, your FEA Investment Limit Utilized amount is RM4,000. Therefore, the remaining FEA balance is RM 996,000.00. Likewise, when you convert Ringgit Malaysia into HKD.

No. Withdrawal requests are performed in Ringgit Malaysia.

No. All cash deposits accepted must be performed in Ringgit Malaysia via your registered bank account with Rakuten Trade.

Just like a money changer counter, the demand and supply of a currency will affect the indicative rate between two currencies. Please note that the daily indicative rate is non-negotiable.

It’s updated multiple times a day. The last update will be when the foreign market opens for trading. 

Unfortunately no. 

It’s displayed based on the chosen settlement currency. For example, if you choose to settle in USD, the realized profit loss will be in USD.  For foreign shares sold in Ringgit Malaysia, the realized profit loss will be in Ringgit Malaysia. Likewise, for foreign shares sold in HKD, the realized profit loss will be in HKD.

No. Please treat them as profit/loss amounts of respective currencies.

For example, if you sell your Apple (AAPL) at USD 152 and you bought it at USD 142, your realized profit is USD 10. But if you bought Walmart (WMT) at USD 130 and sold it at USD 126, your realized loss is USD 4. That means, your net profit for both AAPL and WMT will be USD6.

For example, if you sell your Alibaba Group Holding Limited (9988.HK) at HKD 120 and you bought it at HKD 80, your realized profit is HKD 40. But if you bought HSBC Holdings plc (0005.HK) at HKD 52 and sold it at HKD 39, your realized loss is HKD 13. That means, your net profit for both Alibaba and HSBC will be HKD 27.

For trading in Ringgit Malaysia, if you bought Pinterest (PINS) at RM 166 (USD37) but sold it at RM 76 (USD 17), your realized loss is RM 90. But, if you bought Beyond Meat Inc (BYND) at RM 247 (USD 55), and sold it at RM 112 (USD 25), your realized loss is RM 135. That means, your net loss for both PINS and BYND will be RM 225.

Therefore, our display will read:

Foreign Currency: USD

Total profit = USD 10 [for APPL]

Total loss = USD 4 [for WMT]

Total realized profit/loss = USD 6

It depends. Conversion of Ringgit Malaysia into USD or HKD will impact your Foreign Exchange Administration Investment Limit amount per calendar year. For example, if you convert Ringgit Malaysia into USD to buy US shares in this calendar year, it will impact your FEA Investment Limit amount. There will be no impact if you bring forward your USD or HKD cash balance from previous calendar year to buy US shares.

No.

Yes but it’s market specific (i.e: USD for U.S. Markets and HKD for Hong Kong), but cash withdrawal requests will be processed in Ringgit Malaysia.

There is no change to the existing online/offline deposit and withdrawal services. The processing turn-around time will be on a Malaysian trading day.

Our indivative rate or daily reference exchange rate is based on the previous day’s rate quoted as received from the external licensed FX dealer. We will apply a reference exchange rate as an estimate or for valuation purposes only. For settlement, the quoted rates will be applied.

Yes you can, provided that you have sufficient USD cash balance or HKD cash balance but you can’t settle your HKD trades in USD or vice versa.

Yes, you can however not via a combination of currencies.

Settlement processing will be based on the foreign market’s T+2 settlement rules, subject to a Malaysian trading day.  

For example, if you made a purchase on Monday (US trading day), your settlement of the purchase will be on Wednesday (US trading day). Your trust money will be deducted on Wednesday (MY trading day).  

If a sale was made on Monday (US trading day), your settlement of the sales will be on US Wednesday trading day. Sales proceed in Ringgit Malaysia will be credited to your trading account on Wednesday (MY trading day) 

The above scenario was made based on the assumption that there are no public holidays at respective market. If the due date of the settlement falls on weekend or public holiday, the settlement process will be adjusted accordingly to fulfil the foreign market T+2 settlement rules 

Our daily exchange rate is a reference. Generally, when you buy the foreign shares, there will be a conversion between Ringgit Malaysia and the respective foreign currency. Therefore, we will display the daily reference exchange rate to serve as a guide / resource.   

Please note that the daily reference exchange rate is non-negotiable.
