Which brokerage rate will give me the best value for money?

At Trader dealer we’ve designed a brokerage schedule to make sure you get fantastic value for your money, no matter how much you trade.

You can choose from our standard $19.50 brokerage rate for trades up to $18,000, or our  ProTrader rate for those who trade in larger amounts. With the ProTrader rate you can trade up to $200,000 per confirmation for just $33.

On both rates you can squeeze more value from your brokerage by splitting your orders throughout the day, giving traders like yourself greater savings.

For those of you not familiar with splitting orders, this is a very simple and cost effective way of trading that gives you the opportunity to spread your orders throughout the day and get the best possible prices. With Trader Dealer you can buy or sell one share up to 12 different times per day and only be charged for one confirmation. This means you only pay one brokerage fee when most brokers will charge you on a per order basis. You can read more about how you can split your orders through Trader Dealer on our website.

Navigation in Rapid Trader is simple, with menus clearly displayed on the left hand side. One click on the menu selects the option and drops down any sub menus. A second click hides the submenus again to keep the tool bar clear.

Rapid Trader Home Page

The layout is customisable, allowing you to adjust the size of the windows to create the best layout for you. To adjust the size of any box, place your cursor on the dividing line until the < || > symbol displays. When this symbol is visible you can then hold down the left mouse button and drag the window to the size you want it. As you do this the data in the window will adjust to fit the new space or be available via the scroll bar if it cannot be made smaller.

The quote widgets on the home page can be reordered simply by dragging them to where you want them to be. Rapid Trader makes it easy to focus on the information that is important to you.
