New Maybank2u Trading Platform Preview
Jan 10th, 2007 by AhYap
Maybank release a preview of their new trading platform today. They finally upgrade their rubbish trading platform to a better rubbish platform after more than 3 years!
Why the new trading platform is a better rubbish?
1. They design a platform that won’t work under Mozilla FireFox but only Internet Explorer (IE). I think maybe they started planning for this project few years ago and at that time FireFox is still not popular. But man, FireFox has conquered 20% of the browser market today.
2. They still live in the small world, their platform is best displayed in 800×600 resolution only (old 14″ dinosaur monitor) and can be enlarged to maximum 1024×768 only (Old notebook resolution). Again it must have taken them years to create this platform as they didn’t foresee that today notebooks are basically on at least 1280×800 and desktop on 1280×1024 (17″+ LCD)
3. Pretty hard to navigate, once you double click on a counter, you saw the day chart of that stock, but hell, it took me a very long time to figure out how to ‘back’ to the last page (the listing page you see from the screenshot above) because there isn’t a ‘Back’ button nor a quick icon for listing! End up that I need to click on the “Stocks Menu” and then “Quotation”. Come on, this platform is design for end-users, not brokers. We assume we can use it immediately without reading a bunch of help files.
4. I am lazy to dig further…
I have the opportunities to play with some US trading platform and I can say that trading platform in Malaysia is still in the STONE-AGE. But we are a small country isn’t we? Wahahahaha.

Hi, i was made to understand that you can use Mozilla Firefox browser to navigate the new online stocks – but you need to download the ActiveX addon first…
Mozilla doesn\’t come with ActiveX support. ActiveX is a microsoft feature. Although there are people developing a plugin for firefox, installation is not easy and quality is still questionable.
Just found your site.
Haiyaa this louya biggest bank just found this platform??? It was in the market last 2yrs already…, wonder la until what year they can tahan, services tak mao cakap laa…
I opened an account with http://www.hlebroking.com and they also use the same platform.
After getting familiar with it (now where to click), it is quite nice EXCEPT the fact that you can’t run it from Firefox. Arhhhhhh.
HleBroking.com is highly recommended because their customer support is better (they reply to emails!) and they have better reports for your trades. Maybank sucks at the reports and you can’t get your reports at night (can’t check ur position, trades, etc).
