Once you’ve developed your knowledge about trading, you’ll need a broker and a trading platform to place your orders. The broker that we recommend is
Commodity Broking Services (CBS).
We've managed to negotiate an excellent brokerage rate
for you with this online platform, and we've been extremely impressed with their service and commitment to effective trading practices.
Not only does this service offer a method of live paper-trading to hone your skills, but when it comes time to trade, you’ll be able to trade every instrument imaginable, all from the one account, minimising your hassle and paperwork.
What Can I Trade?
CBS enables you to trade stocks and CFDs on 20 of the world’s largest exchanges.
Trading is also available on:
Over 140 FX crosses on spreads as low as 3 pips
Forex Options and Forward Outrights
Spot Gold and Silver
Over 300 futures contracts on energies, metals and agricultures
CBS provides transparent pricing for CFDs, so you always trade at the market bid/offer price. CFDs have substantial advantages over normal share dealing such as:
Gearing
The ability to go short
Risk protection
Immediate dealing
