    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.

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

    Quick question for the gurus here; I've been adding my DRP shares to DB via a manual "BONUS_ISSUE" entry. Is that the way it's done? I'm not really sure how the mechanism works but i'm bit suspicious that I wouldn't be able to sell these via DB as DB won't have any record of me holding them. Or do they confirm my holding with the applicable share registry before it goes to market?

    you're all good mate
    your portfolio record isnt what they care about. Your real holding is registered at the registry and DB should check that before placing your sell order

    though of course if you do sell more than really you have they will ping you with costs and stuff... so you can confirm your own holding at the registry too.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....
