Broker availability in Australia

Best brokers available in Australia

Australia permits retail CFD and forex trading through appropriately licensed Australian financial-services firms, but ASIC's CFD product intervention order remains in force until 23 May 2027. Retail CFD protections include leverage limits from 30:1 to 2:1 depending on the underlying, standardised margin close-out, negative-balance protection and restrictions on certain inducements.
