Australian e-trade platforms

We've all seen Wall Street and hankered for some easy stock-market millions. But before you can sniff those bank-fresh bills, you'll want to make sure your online broker doesn't have his snout in your trough.

The smart money is on a cheap online broker that won't hog your profits, and there are plenty to choose from that offer flexibility and all those savvy, market numbers without hidden charges or outrageous stock-trading costs.

It seems a tad unfair that your share-market flair should be encumbered by costs per trade - and even less reasonable that trading at a loss should also incur a fee. But that's the way it is. So you might as well keep it to a minimum.

E-trade market data

Most online share trade platforms offer a range of market data packages, which you may want to display on one, or preferably several monitors, so you can keep a finger on the stock-market pulse as well as look decidedly switched on.

Don't light that fat cigar with a hundred just yet - first compare e-trade market data packages.
