I was looking for an Australian based broker for Forex / Currency trading and found the broker I needed. In particular the company offered a free Demo platform for Metatrader which I wanted. The other criteria which i was looking for was low commission (they turned out to be commission free), free data and software, free technical and broker support, 24 hour trading, very good quote rates etc. so this firm ticked all my needs. In particular the staff were helpful unlike the American firms I dealt with which felt like i was just another customer. The Metatrader platform which they provide is really great, has had little if any problems so far and data is real time and free as well. For any traders such as myself I would serious look at gomarkets if you want to trade currencies...

I found this firm through this website and glad I did based on the initial review i read. I had to get some documents signed and reviewed at short notice and the firm was very accommodating especially at the short notice given. All the staff including the front desk staff and Jessica Menzies who I dealt with were lovely. Great stuff! I would definitely be using this firm again.
