Louise says: “Chris Tate and I always suggest our traders have accounts open with two brokers. It’s the way professional traders approach trading. (Plus, you’ll qualify for our Kick-Start Trading Pack of free resources when you open a live account with either of the brokers below – so keep reading to hear more).

Here are our favourite two brokers…”

 

KEY ADVANTAGES
  • Fixed spreads 24/5: unlike many other CFD brokers, Trade Nation’s fixed spreads mean that when the markets move, your spreads don’t. Trade the Aus 200 index with a 0.8 pt spread (during Australian trading hours), 0.6 pts on the UK100 & FX spreads from 0.3 pips.
  • Superannuation/ SMSF account size: lots of CFD providers expect a minimum Superannuation/ SMSF account size of $1 million. Not Trade Nation though. You can start even with a very small SMSF account. This platform is created for traders, by traders. You can open a demo account by clicking here.
  • Regulated: Trade Nation are fully regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), with licence number AFSL 422661.

  • Three platforms to choose from: trade CFDs on our powerful in-house platform TN Trader, MT4 or the world-renowned TradingView platform.

 

FEATURES
  • Guaranteed stop loss orders – no fees charged unless the stop is triggered.
  • Trade long & short on all listed shares (including 500+ ASX shares).
  • Full transparency: fixed spreads mean you know much you’ll pay per trade.
  • TradingView: execute your trades directly on the TradingView charting interface via your Trade Nation trading account.
  • Negative Balance Protection: Trade Nation offers Negative Balance Protection to Retail Clients, ensuring that clients cannot lose more than they have put into their account.
