I just got my IBKR account approved. I searched all over the community / online and a bit confused considering that i had been using DBS Vickers to trade SGX stocks for few years. Any advice?

Question is:

1) I have yet to transfer funds to IBKR, or i transfer only SGD1 to test. What if i never do anything for next few months. How are they going to charge me for "inactive fees" or "minimum fees not met"
2) If I do trading daily, what do i need to declare to Singapore IRAs and how does IBKR bill me for taxes accured?
3) If say i buy just a little, say USD10K worth of APPL shares and hold it for 5 years with no further trade. What will be commissions and fees over the next 5 years be?

1) No inactivity fee for 1st 3 months. After that, they will start to charge USD 10/month.

2) I don't think there's any taxes for capital gain. Only US withholding tax for dividends. Not sure if there's any GST imposed. I haven't start buying US stocks via IB-SG yet.

3) USD 120/year x 5 years = USD 600. You need to add the min. USD 2.80 commission (since it's minimal, the actual commission you pay will be higher) + stock exchange clearing fees + SGD/USD exchange loss (but it's quite minimal). So far, these are the fees I know.

Hi everyone! Is it possible for me to sell some SGX stocks (bought using DBS Vickers cash upfront account) through my Standard Chartered trading account?

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?

I am using dbs vickers cash account. Can i buy a stock on friday and sell it on monday ? I understand that usual trading take 3 days to settle. Do i need to wait 3days later to sell the stock ?

I bought some stocks through DBS Vickers using cash upfront. Recently, I sold the same stocks through DBS Vickers too but my brokerage account balance shows negative. Did I do something wrong?

I buy a stock using cash option in dbs vickers so do I need to top up my vickers account to pay for it or it will deduct directly from my account?
