Fee to buy/sell a stock in Maybank Invest

kobanpro — Fri, 26 Jan 2024 10:19:15 +0800

Hi all, recently I created an account in Maybank Invest and I'm still exploring it.

But before that, I will need to know the exact hidden/not hidden fee for doing a trade a stock before doing some stupid action.

Below screenshot is the calculator provided in Maybank Invest. Does it means every time I do a buy or sell, it will charge a amount of RM41?
Besides this transaction fee, any other fee I will need to pay daily, monthly or yearly?

Appreciate if anyone can advise me what should I care on during trade

Unifi Router Replace/Recommend

kobanpro — Fri, 03 Nov 2017 11:20:10 +0800

Hi guys, i had issue on the Unifi stock router (old white orange type 5 years ago). Recently i experience lag spike on gaming and very lag slow on surfing internet whenever my siblings use their laptop or phone. Im not sure is this caused by they downloading/watching video or caused by the router because currently im using 30mbps Unifi plan.

Can I request Tm to replace a new router for free if the problem is caused by old router? or an aftermarket router is needed?

thanks

Proton Saga 2016 Delay

kobanpro — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 14:12:29 +0800

I think the saga from previous version already got the starting accelerate delay issue. But i not sure how long the delay should be normal.

For my saga 2016, when i change my gear from N to D, the car did moved. Then I press accelerate, the car looks like not release the clutch, the RPM will up to 3000-4000 then after 1sec+ baru pickup. Then i feel like driving a sport car...

May i know what is the real cause of the delay accelerate? Is there a way to reduce or solve the delay?
