Macquarie Prime is a fairly decent one. Relatively low cost.

Downsides - stop loss features fairly limited. Need to be manually maintained. No options trading via that platform. Forced availability of gearing. Some others, but generally an OK basic product.

Marketech is worth a look, simple and reliable platform with all the necessary stop etc functions.

They have a banner ad on this site so I am assuming it is ok to post their site address
