More trading opportunities
With over 10,000 CFD markets to trade across forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs and treasuries*, as well as a wide range of stockbroking investment products, we give you the chance to develop a diverse portfolio, increasing your potential trading opportunities.
Our intuitive platform
Our Next Generation CFD platform, standard and Pro stockbroking platforms are our unique, pioneering online trading platforms. We have already won multiple awards across these platforms but we're not stopping there – we consistently make improvements and add new functionality, products and tools to the platforms to enhance your trading experience.
Dynamic charting capability
Our award-winning** charts provide a host of features to support your chart analysis, including multiple chart types, over 80 technical indicators and drawing tools, a pattern recognition feature and our chart forum community.
Execution control
Enter and exit trades in a flash with our cutting-edge technology. There are multiple order types available, so you can control exactly when and how your trades are executed. For example, our 1-Click CFD Trading feature allows you to place a trade almost instantly, while for enhanced order management you can set boundaries to control any potential slippage in the market.
Risk management
We've developed an extensive range of risk management features to help you manage trading risk effectively, helping to secure potential profits and minimise losses. If you want 100% certainty that a CFD trade will close at an exact price if it moves against you, we offer guaranteed stop-loss orders (GSLOs) for a small premium. Alternatively our stockbroking platform offers unlimited linked and conditional orders to ensure that you’re better able to manage your exit and entry points.
Premium Client
As a high-volume trader, we know you take your trading seriously and require the best from your provider. Our premium traders have access to exclusive client events, workshops and forms as well as a more personalised trading experience with direct access to a dedicated member of our sales trading team. Market-leading rebates are also available for high-volume traders.
Sharpen your skills
No matter your level of trading experience, our dedicated range of education resources can help you learn more, while our step-by-step guides will help you make the most of our advanced trading platform.
