Automate my Wealth Building


Here's my step-by-step guide to getting it running in 2026:


Step 1: Fund Your Account & Convert Currency


Tiger Brokers’ auto-invest feature for US ETFs currently requires you to have the funds available in USD within your account.

• Deposit: Transfer funds (e.g., SGD) into your Tiger account.

• Currency Exchange: Go to your Portfolio > Currency Exchange and convert your funds to USD.


Note: Tiger does not currently offer "auto-FX" during the execution of an auto-invest plan, so ensure you have a sufficient USD balance beforehand.


Step 2: Access the Auto-Invest Menu


• Open the Tiger Trade app.

• On the Home tab, look for the Auto-invest icon (if you don't see it, tap "More" to find it under the "Trade" or "Invest" sections).

• Alternatively, you can search for (ticker: QQQM) in the search bar, click on the stock to open its quote page, and tap the Auto-invest button at the bottom.

Step 3: Create Your QQQM Plan


• On the Auto-invest page, tap "Add a plan now".

• Search for QQQM and select it.

• Set the Amount: Enter how much you want to invest each time (e.g., $100). The minimum is usually as low as USD 2 thanks to fractional shares.

• Choose Frequency: Select how often you want to buy (Weekly, Fortnightly, or Monthly).

• Pick the Date: Select the specific day of the week or month for the trade to trigger.


Step 4: Confirm and Monitor


• Review the details of your plan.

• Tap Confirm or Submit.

• You can view, edit, or pause your plan at any time by returning to the Auto-invest dashboard.


Key Things to Know

• Execution Time: Orders are typically placed as Market Orders around 1:30 PM ET (or 10:30 AM ET if the market closes early) on your chosen date.

• Fractional Shares: You don't need to buy a whole share. If QQQM is trading at $200 and you only want to invest $50, Tiger will buy 0.25 shares for you.

• Fees: Standard US trading fees apply. For fractional shares (less than 1 share), the fee is typically 1% of the trade value (capped at USD 1).

• Cancellations: If you need to stop a scheduled buy, you must cancel or modify the plan at least 30 minutes before the market execution time.

Making Money vs. Managing Love: Do They Follow the Same Logic?
Emotional stability is the real ticket to entry. Do you think love and investing are similar? When facing a week like this—with dramatic geopolitical market swings—do you choose “ride it out together” or “panic and break up with the market”? In relationships, which is harder: timing the moment or holding for the long term? If someone is great at investing, does that mean they’re also good at managing relationships?
