radd Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hey Duster , Trade through First Prudential Markets and have an app for the i-phone for iress , all live ,can view and buy and sell etc, I would assume this app would work for the i-pad also, maybe try the FP markets website and see if that works, good luck.

Duster Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi Radd, I wouldn't be able to see it on an iPhone. I'll give 'em a buzz tomorrow. Thanks D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duster Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just a quick one Radd, How do you settle your trades through FP ? Do they pay interest on funds on deposit ? Can you link a CMT or other bank account to your trading account for settlement ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radd Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hey Mate, accounts are all through The Adelaide bank and take a couple of days to settle, but you can trade with ALL funds straight away when selling a stock, {thats what I`ve found anyways} hope this helps.

radd Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Sorry and I`m sure they pay interest on deposited funds, but will look into it and let you know for sure, {there are small credits on my accounts and I assume this is interest paid}.

Duster Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks again Radd, I'll look into it tomorrow. Their website doesn't say anything about iPad, only iPhone and I'm not sure if both can do the same thing. Cheers, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radd Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hey Duster, interest is paid on $$ in the account ,but I am unsure of the % have looked everywhere but there is no info readily availible, and UBS is the settlement agent, good luck.

flower Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I use Macquarie and BankWest with TD. Macquarie pay 4.75% Bankwest pay 4.25% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Most brokers will happily settle via a CMA at Macquarie. For cash held, that account pays RBA Cash rate, calculated daily; and there's no account keeping fees. Westpac also offer a Cash Investment account with the same conditions; for me, that has the added advantage of lower minimum brokerage ($19.95) plus bonus interest rates for frequent traders. I only mention those two for the interest; I'm not interested in mobile computing or trading on the move. When I'm on holidays, I don't want to think about shares; when I'm trading, I want the comfort and quiet environment of my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duster Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hi Arty, I do have a Macquarie CMA for settlement. The reason I asked is that although some of the headline charges for discount brokers sound good, there are often hidden factors which make them not so good. I'm not suggesting TD is in that catagory but larger sums of money sitting in a low interest bearing account so as to get cheap brokerage, far outweighs the benefit and it's not just a matter of transferring funds in after the trade, for as you know, most discount brokers want cleared funds in your trading account prior. As far as mobile trading, I'm not a full time trader but like to keep an eye on the markets from wherever I am in the world. I travel a bit and think the iPad would be a great tool for me personally but unfortunately not possible as far as I know, although I did find something at Interactive Brokers http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/pagem...biletrading.php Cheers, Duster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
