Hi folks
I started investing in shares about a month ago, and during my research and whatnot since that time I ran across this forum. The long and short of it is after a bit of watching the threads I decided to join. So it's great to be here. :)
My shares I am investing long term to avoid any tax implications for when and if I sell at a gain. However in the last two weeks I have become interested in forex markets and thought I'd ask a few questions if that's ok.
My primary one would be what platform to go with?
I have tried out Latitude FX which I like very much. It's and NZ based company and offers 50:1 and 100:1 leverage.
Axis Trader which is also good, but doesn't trade some of my favorite currency pairs and is based in Aussie and the account would be in AUD. (I'm not too keen on sending money overseas in a different currency but what do you guys think about it?) It offers more leverage options an a lower initial deposit.
I have heard of CMC markets which trades using CFD's. I'm not to sure about this and whether an initiate should start out with CFD's
I have downloaded and used the demo accounts on LatitudeFX and Axis so I am fairly familiar with how the MT4 platform works. So is there any advice on which one to go for, or any that I should defiantly stay away from? Any alternative FX companies I should look at?
Thanks heaps
