General

What types of statement will I receive?

You will receive Daily Activity Statement, which includes all the executed trades / contracts for a trading day.  You will also receive Monthly Activity Statement for your BOOM Account.

Why don't I receive my Daily Activity Statement everyday but irregularly?

Daily Activity Statements will be generated whenever there are account activities. However, we will only send you Daily Activity Statement after you have a buy/sell order executed. Therefore, if you only have non-trading activities (such as funds deposit / withdrawal) on a particular day, you will not receive any Daily Activity Statement or notice, but the respective statement can be viewed online under the "Statement (Daily / Monthly)" section after you login to your account.

Why don't I have Monthly Activity Statement?

Monthly Activity Statements are generated every month. However, you will not have Monthly Activity Statement if there are no account activity, no stock holding and no cash balance for that month.
