moomoo CDP Trading: How to Buy and Sell SGX Stocks Through Your CDP Account
moomoo has just launched one of the highly requested features in Singapore — the ability to buy and sell SGX stocks directly through your CDP account.
This means your shares can now be held safely under your own name in CDP, instead of sitting inside a custodian account. For many Singaporean investors, this is a very big deal.
This guide covers everything you need to know:
- What the CDP feature is and how it works
- What the fees are and how they compare with other brokers
- How to link your CDP account to moomoo
- How to buy and sell through CDP
- Useful tips along the way
In the past, whenever you bought Singapore stocks on moomoo, the shares were held under moomoo's name on your behalf. While that allowed you to enjoy low fees, the downsides were obvious:
- You do not get your voting rights directly
- You cannot view all your SGX holdings in one place across all brokers
For many Singaporean investors, these CDP privileges aren't just an administrative detail — they're part of the overall investing experience.
With this new update, moomoo finally solves that problem. You can now buy and sell SGX stocks directly through your CDP account, with shares deposited under your own name — just like how it works with traditional bank brokers.
- Full legal title — Shares held under your own name
- Direct corporate action notifications — Receive dividends and rights issues directly
- Consolidated portfolio visibility — Manage all your CDP shares under one account
- AGM access — Attend shareholder meetings and enjoy perks
Plus, you still get everything that makes moomoo attractive:
- Clean interface
- Fast execution
- Powerful charting tools
- Research features that outperform most legacy brokers
For SGX trades executed through CDP, moomoo charges:
- Commission: 0.22% of trade value
- Minimum fee: S$9.98 per trade
- Plus standard SGX clearing and trading fees
moomoo CDP pricing is:
- Roughly in line with other low-cost brokers offering CDP access
- Significantly cheaper than traditional bank brokers (which charge S$25 to S$40 minimum per trade)
That difference in minimum fees alone can easily eat into your returns, especially if you invest in smaller amounts each time.
- Tiger Brokers — Currently only supports selling from CDP
- moomoo — Supports both

Before placing a sell order, make sure your shares are already settled in your CDP account.
- CDP trades require full settlement
- When you buy or sell a stock, settlement happens two business days later (T+2)
If you sell before your shares have settled, or sell more than you own, SGX treats this as a failed delivery and you will face:
- Penalty: S$1,000 or 5% of trade value (whichever is higher)
- Fee: S$75 per failed contract
- Additional charge: 0.75% brokerage on top of usual fees
Always make sure the shares are already in CDP before selling!
