what is the best Australian broker for margin trading?
Margin Trading, also known as leverage trading is a way to trade more with less of your own cash. How much margin you can use, will depend on the broker and the regulator the broker is using. All brokers allow you to trade with the maximum leverage permitted by the regulator, this is especially so in Australia, Europe, The UK, the UAE and Singapore where the maximum leverage is quite low. It is countries with less stringent regulators (South Africa, Belize, Seychelles, Vanuatu, New Zealand) or no regulator where differences may occur as these regulators have no maximum leverage.
