Please take note that you can only do the Foreign TT anytime from 10.00am to 6.00pm Malaysian time on a weekday.




Here is my guide to do that using foreign wire transfer (from Malaysia) via Maybank's online portal.



1. Log into Maybank 2u. On the upper right corner, click on PAY & TRANSFER
2. Click on TRANSFER.
3. Enter the Transfer details
            Transfer From : <Choose your account to transfer from>
            Transfer To : Overseas (FTT, Western Union, Visa Direct)
            Country : United States
            State : Nebraska

        




4. Right under, enter the amount your want to transfer in RM.  Then choose USD in the dropdown box. Click Compare.

5. You will be given two choices. Choose Foreign Telegraphic Transfer and click on the Transfer Button.




6. In the next page, you will need to enter the sender's and recipient's details using the information provided by TD Ameritrade. Under sender's details, it will be filled automatically so just check if the information provided is correct.

        Country:  United States
        Contact Number:  <Your contact number>
        Email (Optional):   <Your e-mail address>


9. Under TRANSFER DETAILS :
        Purpose: TRANSFER
        Sub Purpose: PRIVATE TRANSFER - OTHER CAPITAL TRANSFER
        Transactions Fees :  Sender bear the fee, additional fee.....   <only one choice given>
        Additional Info: <I left this empty. it would not allow me to enter my name and TD Ameritrade  9 digits account number - saying I entered this information before >


10. Click on Transfer once you have confirmed the information given is correct.




11. You will need to enter the TAC sent to your mobile. Enter your TAC and click Confirm. Once this is successful, your money will be transferred. 

Take note that if your foreign TT limit is lower than the amount you are transferring, this transaction will fail. I experienced this and I had to go into the settings and changed my maximum limit for foreign telegraphic transfer.

A Study in Technical Analysis : Candlestick Part 1 - One White Soldier

Decided to start a Technical Analysis series to analyze a few candlestick patterns and other tools to help me improve my stock and options trading.  ONE WHITE SOLDIER One White Soldier candlestick pattern is a Bullish Reversal Pattern used to predict the reversal of the current downtrend. The pattern consists of two consecutive long-bodied candlesticks - The first being a Bearish Candlestick followed by a Bullish Candlestick. This candlestick pattern rarely appears and if it does appear it's likely a strong indication of a reversal in trend (supported by other indicators as well). The One White Soldier should have the following  characteristics.  Bearish Candle followed by a Bullish Candle.  If it is during a long downtrend, The Bearish Candle must be a new low in the downtrend(Counter Trend Trade).   1.   The Bullish Candle must open Above the Close of the Bearish Candle Open2 Higher than Close1   ...

What are the Different Levels of FiRe ?

FiRe (Financial Independence / Retire Early)  is a movement where a person has to adopt to a certain lifestyle with the goal of gaining Financial Independence and Retiring Early. I only got to know of this movement a few years ago after watching a video on Graham Stephen's Youtube channel.  Just like Graham Stephen, I started adapting a frugal and savings lifestyle when I was young but there wasn't a name for this until  Fi/Re  was made famous. I got serious about Saving To Retire Early about 10 years ago after attending T Harv Eker's Millionaire Mindset seminar . I learned about the JAR system from the seminar and I have been practicing it without fail for the past 10 years. I am proud to say this has helped me tremendously to achieve my financial freedom goal. T Harv Eker has a book called " Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth " which I highly recommend.  I wrote an article about the Money JAR System which you can read by c lic...

Trading Journey [ Part 2 ] - Consistent Set of Actions

The month of March2021 had been a rather rough month for me. I lost 100% in my Sell Put strategy for SPY due to the crazy volatility caused by the 10 year yield scare. I have since adjusted my Stop Loss to be triggered at 250% instead to avoid being stopped out from price volatility. I closed my PEPSI sell put option by manual cut loss 21 days before  expiration which ended up bring profitable if I didn't cut early...another reason to stick with the original game plan instead of tweaking my exit plan halfway after entering the trade. I just realized 100% losses from my bull put strategy on APPLE and JNJ.   The losses was a bit hard to take and do I decided to take more risks by not sticking with my game plan for my overall trading strategy and added more options trades which did not follow my rules and went beyond my trading size. Once such trade is I did a SELL Iron Condor on Facebook when it was trading at $260. I looked at the chart and saw it was in middle a strong Re...
