Trader Dealer

I think I'll give Trader Dealer a miss for now. The AOT guys who founded TD were great! Its a pity they got mixed up with Opes Prime. http://www.sharescene.com/html/emoticons/thumbdown.gif Might take another look at the new TD after they have had time to resolve any teething problems. IMO, the best option for TD clients or anyone who likes the low brokerage, single contract notes and Iress, that TD had, is Amscot Discount Broking. They are not high leverage and no CFDs and shorts, but at least your shares and money are safe with them. Trust account is with Macquarie. If you want an ML facility, their ML provider is Leveraged Equities (reasonably safe) but the approved share list is minimal.

I just got an email message from the new owners of Trader Dealer. Lots of fluff, but little substance or detail.

Important Information

Dear Mr X

 

Firstly I would like to start by informing you that you will be able to trade early next week and thank you personally for your patience. We understand and acknowledge the importance of managing your finances and we are writing to you as the new owners of Trader Dealer, to provide you with an important update.

 

The Past

By now I am sure you have read about Opus Prime in the media, and the issues this caused Trader Dealer over the last week. Unfortunately, Trader Dealer was unable to continue itÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¾Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢s trading service only due to itÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¾Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢s license structure , relationship with and ownership by Opes Prime. Cash based Clients and Leveraged Equities ClientÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¾Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢s positions in cash and stock held through the original arrangements will not be affected in any way by this event.

 

No communication to you was possible until today however, a clear direction for the business has now been determined.

 

The Present

We are happy to announce that today we hit a critical milestone with connectivity to key suppliers so this means we are not far away from trading again. As other important milestones are hit, we will let you know as soon as possible. Regularly check for more announcements on our website and check for emails from us.

 

The Future

The publicly listed MDS Financial Group together with Box RED Pty Ltd, a privately held corporate advisory business, have formed a joint venture to acquire and operate the Trader Dealer business.

 

I have included details regarding both of these businesses below.

 

We are able to re-commence the high quality service that you have come to expect from Trader Dealer with many of the previous team which will allow us to re-open the doors early next week for you to trade.

 

We understand your desire to know what is going on and fully respect this. Many people have asked us many questions and we are getting back to them as promptly as we can.

 

Again, thank you for your understanding during this difficult time. We look forward to working with you in the same way as we have in the past.

 

We will continue to correspond with you via email over the coming weeks and you can check for regular updates on www.traderdealer.com.au and please forward any enquires to enquiries@traderdealer.com.au.

Got an email from them today, they've made some changes for 2010. $19.50 per trade (up to $18k) and good discounts for Market Analyzer users like myself. I think this is better value than CommSec now?

 

Didn't go with them before because they were a bit expensive, but I might do some research into them later on whether I should make the swap

[arty]

Funny you should say that, Sax

I've received the same e-mail and started doing my sums immediately.

AOT Online, with web.iress, charge $33 for up to 6 trades (same stock, same direction) per session; TD double that number for $19.50.

 

The questions I need answered concern things like -

• which CMT accounts will they accept?
• who is the CHESS member registering my shares? (I believe it's Berndale)
• as the Market Analyser doesn't (yet) have a level 1 Order screen, how do I know exactly where my order sits?

For starters, I'll reactivate the Order system in my MA Pro; as long as I didn't use it, I had disabled the plugins.

And I'll give them a call, asking some questions.

The greatest incentive would be the free MA Pro at Platinum level with live ASX data for everybody spending $330 brokerage a month. Considering the price "we" used to pay for the software ... the mind boggles!

 

It might save other people's time if everybody who has already found some answers, or has new questions, could post them here

[tissel]

How does the e-mail you received differ from thier standard terms as attached ?

Personal Financial Advice

First, and most importantly, you should note that we do not provide you with ÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Â¦ÃƒƒÂ¢Ãƒ¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…âہ“personal adviceÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Å¡Ãƒƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚ as

defined by the Corporations Act (Act) and ASIC. Accordingly, we will not take into account your

ÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Â¦ÃƒƒÂ¢Ãƒ¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…âہ“objectives, financial situation and needsÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Å¡Ãƒƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚ (Objectives) (as defined by the Act and ASIC) and

What should I know about the risks of trading or investing?

Trading or investment in any market has risks. In particular, the risk of loss in share market trading or

investment can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether that kind of trading or

investment is appropriate for you in the light of your own specific circumstances.

The value of a security or derivative may rise and fall considerably depending on what other people

are prepared to pay you for the share when you decide to sell it. This price volatility will depend on

many factors, including; the company, market sentiment, opinions about the country the security or

derivative is traded in, the prospects for the industry and many other factors. Sometimes companies

go bankrupt and investors may lose the entire value of their investment in a specific security or

derivative. Under certain circumstances it can become impossible for you to liquidate a position (this

can happen for example when there is significant change in prices in a security or derivative over a

short time. Also, the placing of contingent orders (such as a ÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Â¹Ãƒƒâ€Â¦ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ãƒâ€¦Ã¢â‚¬Å“stop lossÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¾Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢) may not always protect or limit

your losses to the amounts that you want, as market conditions may make it impossible to execute

such orders.

Securities and derivatives may also offer the potential for substantial gains, and a range of returns in

between.

This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects involved in trading

or investing in financial markets. You should carefully study trading and investing before becoming

involved in it.

The new fees are $19.50 a trade, rather than $33;

their trading platform is changing from Iress to MA Pro, which you get free with increasing levels of features the more you trade.

[Dogtrader]

They have a new trading platform too

http://www.traderdealer.com.au/rapid-trader.html

 

Has anyone tried it yet?

[arty]

Didn't know it had been released yet;

I had been invited to join the Beta group. Current state looks promising if used for trading only.

As you can see, the charts look still a little rough around the edges, and a few creases need to be ironed out in watchlists.

But considering the project started only a few weeks ago, it's pretty impressive.

 

The big Plus for TD is, however, that it can be linked for direct trading off the MA Professional package.

That puts them on my shortlist for my next trading account.

 

[Dogtrader]

Hi Arty

 

Thanks, I gave them a call and it has gone live, they are very helpful and gave me a demo to play with.

 

It seems they are not charging for software, just brokerage and it comes with live asx data so it seems like a good deal but just wondering if anyone else here has used it in its live state?

[flower]

Anybody using Trader Dealer as a platform just be aware Reuters--- their data suppliers have a problem with Market Depth at the moment, should be resolved soon.
