Ensure the document’s edges are visible and text legible. Proof of address requires a recent utility bill or official statement issued within three months. Accepted documents include TNB bills, bank statements, and official government correspondence.

Upload files in JPEG or PDF format, each not exceeding 5MB. Verify all information matches your registration details exactly. Our system processes verification during Malaysian business hours, typically within 24 hours. Phone verification involves entering a six-digit SMS code sent to your Malaysian mobile number within 10 minutes. International phones require extra support verification.

Download MetaTrader 4 or 5 via our secure website download section. Both versions are compatible with Windows 10/11, macOS 10.14+, iOS 12+, and Android 8.0+. The installer size is approximately 50MB, and installation requires about 200MB of free disk space. After installation, input your unique account login credentials sent by email.

Platform Customization for Stock Trading

Open Market Watch and right-click to select “Show All” for the full instrument list.

Save your chart layouts to maintain settings across sessions.

Setting Up Trading Alerts and Notifications

Use the Alerts tab in the Navigator panel to create notifications based on price levels or indicator triggers. Alerts can be sent via email, SMS, or push notifications on mobile devices.

Stock Trading Execution and Order Management

To execute a market order, right-click on a stock symbol and select “New Order.” The order interface displays bid and ask prices, maximum volume, and margin requirements.
