Longbridge Singapore combines multi-market stocks, options and funds with a margin-enabled Ace account and an API stack. Its “zero commission” headline must be read with platform fees, exchange/regulatory costs, transfer charges and margin interest. The platform and OpenAPI can submit orders only within the permissions and authentication of the customer’s account.[1][3][10]

Execution & trading rules
Sections ↑Specifications09
Margin risk controls
| Measure | Published role |
|---|---|
| Initial margin | Amount required when opening financed exposure.Source 3 |
| Maintenance margin | Ongoing requirement for the portfolio.Source 3 |
| Forced-liquidation margin | Threshold below which the broker can take action.Source 3Source 4 |
| Dangerous status | The risk-control guide gives 14:00 as the deadline for an amount already due in Dangerous status; the separate margin-call guide describes three trading days including the notice date.Source 14Source 4 |
| Liquidation discretion | Broker can determine positions, price and timing when risk controls are triggered.Source 14 |
Trading & service hours10
Order and session considerations
| Topic | Practical position |
|---|---|
| Regular and extended sessions | Market and symbol determine available sessions and order types.Source 2 |
| API order status | Programmatic response must be reconciled with the live account before retry.Source 10 |
| Pre-market options | Selected symbols can have special platform-fee treatment; ordinary session fee differs.Source 1 |
| Outage fallback | Official dealing hotline is published; no guarantee of every order or fee waiver during an outage.Source 11 |
The stated margin-call period does not protect a position from earlier force-selling when equity falls below the force-selling requirement. The account’s notice, current margin status and relevant risk-control rule determine what action is due.[4]
Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑Transfer terms11
Funding and cash access
| Route | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| DDA SGD deposit | Supported-bank transfer; often near-instant outside bank processing constraints.Source 7 |

Transfer restrictions
| Restriction | Effect |
|---|---|
| Same beneficial owner only | Change-of-beneficial-owner transfers are not supported by the published route.Source 5 |
| Margin borrowing | Transfer-out request cannot proceed while the account is financing positions.Source 5 |
| Insufficient fee cash | Request cannot proceed without enough cash for transfer charges.Source 5 |

Cross-broker cash transfers use the withdrawable balance of the selected currency and exclude Cash Plus and other special funds. Before closing an account, settle assets and liabilities, remove linked third-party accounts and allow pending entitlements to complete: the cancellation terms treat future refunds and rights as waived.[6][12]
