I recently opened up a small account that is linked to my SMSF because they were one of only 2 brokers allowed by Esuperfund in which to trade cfd's with. The platform is terrible, looks nice aesthetically but is very unstable on Win 7 64 bit, actually worked better on my older pc which was...

I took the plunge with e super fund and all good so far. They handle the yearly BAS statement you just provide them with receipts of your transactions and they compile it all. The biggest expense so far has been the Life Insurance & Total disability cover, I'll try and find a cheaper...

Cheers Sam, yeah pretty much the way I'm thinking too.

Hi RADO, Does Amibroker trade of charts, feature a Dom or is it simply just charting? I know Ninja is free with a IB plugin but as only charts no trading off the platform unless you purchase a license. Trading system ? Well I have a methodology that is quite simply S&R trading. As trading...

I liaised with them in 2011 and they were very professional and courteous. They helped set me up with Ninja and the TWS platform, provided all paperwork etc. They send a daily email also discussing trade setups and opinions in directions of markets. The service was good however the spread on...

I have a question for the cfd traders. Is it safe to trade with $25-$50 contracts on the Aus 200 ? The broker won't pull any funny business if your playing with that amount ? I was thinking if there are no liquidity problems because it just tracks the index and your just a trade inside...

Yeah I think you need to play the charts just as you see them. Buy low, sell high will always be a good strategy with equities that have sound fundamentals behind them. I'm also considering some govt bonds in case it all turns to poo. GOLD hmm you know I still think the charts look top...

Hi Trembling hand thanks for your reply. 10 different instruments is what i'm trying to get away from, I think a candy shop is a bad idea for those that need to be on a strict protein diet. I want to concentrate on 1 instrument only at the beginning and I find from the synthetic variant that...

Hmm my reply disappeared ?:cautious: I must have said something wrong, sorry and doesn't matter. The world doesn't like opinions of opposing views. Thanks Canoz nice link to see live orders through the DOM.

I spoke with a rep from Macquarie this morning. So we have a $10-12.50 trade commision each way. CQG trader platinum @ $380 per month for charts and feed to the SFE. Other option is JTrader @ $55 per month and early next year they are releasing TTnet @ $80 per month. I googled the above to...

Yeah thanks for the link cbc1 however it's temporarily down but I'll make sure to check it out. Nothing to be sorry about no harm done and GFT is just one of my 4 brokerage accounts to check out all other tradeable instruments. Which i hope to eliminate the other 3 soon. My wife and I also...

Yeah sorry I cut and pasted from word 2007 into the thread and it just didn't like it. As I mentioned I'm not getting into any spot Forex debates. Lack of transparency, no volume, no market depth. MT4- who knows what the broker is doing with your order or what plug in he is utilizing. Too many...

That's what I want to hear. I'm only regurgitating what I'm reading in the Derivatives threads Could you please advise: broker, datafeed, platform exclusive to the spi only. I know it trades under different names: AP is the instrument of the SFE I'm interested in. Platforms I've heard of Its...

Hi all. I'm a new member. I've been actively trading spot forex for over 3 yrs with limited results. I think these results are a by product of my internal beliefs that Forex is a scam, not real, pretentious. I think the last straw was watching AUDUSD rally off a interest rate drop for the 1st...
