Direct Broking

[Dotbond]

Is anyone else trialling the new DB system? On the face of it the website looks modern now. Not sure of how much better it is though.

im supposed to be using it , im sure others are to. mainly just checked that it works for all your stuff because they will probably close the other one down, if there is anything you use and dont have yet built in send your requests in.

There are a dozen or so functional things that make the current system better than the new one for trading but its getting sorted, should be workable by next year hopefully but not worried cause I like the current platform and the new one still does not have direct to market orders.

and no discounts for volumn trading , not surprising though, who wants to give discounts.

Another day of them being snowed under and not coping.

one should really have multiple platforms available.

Hey guys - I've recently been migrated from Direct Broking to Jarden Direct and executed my first Jarden buy this morning.
To my surprise, while buying IFT (NZX) - I was charged $0 brokerage.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Their site says nothing about it...

[DiffTheEnder]

Has anyone been migrated to jarden direct yet?
I bought some infratil yesterday and I was charged $0 brokerage which surprised me.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I couldn't find anything in their pricing about free trades.

Is it just me or are people using Direct Broking via Chrome finding the refreshing painfully slow today ?

Hang again.....ahhh.. frustrating!

Not just Chrome, Safari v slow.

Depth figs suffering an hours delay. (At 1.30, DB's depth showing 12.30pm data.)

More Russian hacking!!??

Seems it's all come right again. Damn annoying though I have to say.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that they were offering an introductory brokerage-free trade. Would help stop people migrating to ASB securities.

Mind you both seem fairly hopeless - no app, no LSE or NYSE trades and a website interface that leaves a lot to be desired. Perhaps I need to try another browser in that regard?

not sure if this is the right thread - apologies if not!

I buy via sharesies. Access to market depth is $10 a month on sharesies. I know that other platforms provide something like six months free access to market depth information after a full-fee trade - something between $15 and $30 I think?
so, i'll probably start trading on another platform once every (6 months?), focusing on trades where the cost is similar between that platform and sharesies. But, even if it wasn't, a one off $15 fee every six months is cheaper than $60 every six months.

What's the best platform/option for this? direct broking is sounding like a dog in this thread...

I've no experience with Sharsies but have often wonder what are the risks to your portfolio if they go bust?

Jarden Direct are unbelievably bad when I compare them to Westpac Online investing (AU), which I also use. They have a whizz-bang app that's intuitive to use and full of good features. Ditto for their browser interface and free access to market depth and company research plus so much more. It makes the NZ equivalents look amateur to say the least!

Sharsies great for mum and dad ... but not a traders platform. if you invest and trade you will start on DB and then select a platform for euro investing platform if you dont live here all the time and want day time access in europe.
