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.

7. Under RECIPIENT'S BANK DETAILS:

        Recipients Address Line 1: Omaha, NE 68154-2631
        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.

  I was introduced into the world of Options Trading when I joined a Value Investing Course by a stock investing guru named  Sean Seah . One was the strategies I learned from this course is called VIOS (Value Investing Option Strategy). This strategy aims to consistently make money by selling naked put options to collect premiums on fundamentally good stocks with minimal risk (worst case scenario you are forced to buy that stock if your option is exercised). Anyway I won't be talking too much about the Fundamentals of Options as you can find many free videos of these on YouTube and paid courses on Udemy. I have been selling mostly naked put options to collect premium for 4 years using the ThinkOrSwim platform and I was collecting good premiums making some small profit.

However I discovered that  there is a huge risk involved with this Naked Selling Option Strategy even when...

The TOP 3 DOs and DONTs To Be a Successful Investor

Many times we ask ourselves "Why do some people make money easily while I have a difficult time doing so?". I already have a few friends who are making tons of money after huge investment in crypto and I have another friend who has made tons of money in options trading. I am still struggling and I have been asking myself why. What am I lacking compared to them? I believe it is the amount of effort and time that my friends have placed to master the art of trading and investing -that make them successful. They will only focus on one thing and continue to sharpen that skills and knowledge relevant to that instead of jumping from one to another. For my case I have dabbled in the futures market, day trading, options, some crypto....all with mild or no success.  It is time for a change.  I have to put in more effort to be a more of a successful investor. knowledge without action is meaningless. We must Do the right things and DONT Do some things that may hinder our progress to be s...
