I am 21yo. Is it wise to open scb online trading account now although I'm currently using ibkr? SCB having promo (1june-30sep) on FREE brokerage fees (rebate) on all "Buy" trades. Have war chest $40k aside. Any advice?

Have jumpstart a/c so it's easy to apply online for a trading a/c. Personally am inclined to change due to my fixed structure fees on ibkr that's quite a lot, sadly didn't do my research properly(invested a small sum only, $2.5k, and opened just 2mths ago). If I sell all, returns are good at +8.52%($213). I'll probably invest $2k per mth for Aug and Sep then dca a small amt after, as I'm still an undergrad so maintaining a large dca per mth could be undesirable. PLEASE ADVISE ON FEES LONG RUN.

Probably open also SCB account does not serve too much.

for choosing the best broker you should acknowledge the aggregate of the following longer term issues:

-covering all the markets you want exposure to

-low or no trading fees

-low or no account maintenance fees

-low or no custody fees

-low or no inactivity fees

-low or no paper statement/postage fees

-some other fees (security transfers, tax statements etc.)
