When choosing an online trading broker...
It may sound clichéd but when choosing an online trading broker, everyone is different. Ask yourself the following questions: How much are you willing to invest? What do you want to trade (CFDs, stocks, derivatives)? What added extras do you need – for example, do you want a training course or are you an experienced trader? Do you want comprehensive charting packages?
It’s a good idea to utilise the free demo accounts that many brokers offer – even if you are an experienced trader. Using a demo account is a good way to test the company. After all, the software will be the same. But beware, a demo account will give you little idea of the execution capabilities of a broker, or how good its customer service is.
If you’re just starting out, simply deciding what exactly you want from a broker can be a hard task. Don’t worry – it’s a tough decision even for an experienced trader! Please visit our library and learn all you can. And keep an eye out for our 'Getting Started in Trading' guide, coming soon.
Whether you are an experienced trader or a complete novice, CFDSpy.com can help you make the difficult choice of which broker to use – and there is no better place to start than our Comparison Tool above. But remember, choosing the broker is only the first step. It’s only then that the hard work – and the fun – starts. We’ll be there with you every step of the way.

Comment on One Financial by Moo
| Published: (Aug 27, 2008, 8:03 am)I have a account at with these guys. Their platform (browser based) is clean and basic which means its very simple to navigate and has a strong charting package and reuters news. They also allow me to chat direct to the dealing desk if i have any problems which is a nice feature. They have all the products I need.

| Published: (Aug 6, 2008, 1:01 am)Have been a customer of Interactive Brokers for a little over 2 years now, and can’t find a bad thing to say about them. Dirt cheap data and brokerage rates, access to pretty well every major market to trade, and a rock solid platform that pretty well never crashes. Head and shoulders above every single Australian broker for shares and futures.
