Australia has the highest per capita share ownership in the world so it’s not surprising that there are so many online traders. The recent explosion of the speculative resource sector has turned everyday people into professional investors, simply through trading shares online. Recently we have seen some phenomenal price moves never before seen in the micro cap resource sector of which many online CFD and share traders have taken advantage of.
Of course before you can get started online trading you must have the right tools for the job. Most online traders can get by with a one PC and monitor and an ADSL internet connection however the more serious online traders tend to use two monitors and have two internet connections to ensure that if one connection goes down they can still trade. Of Course having the right hardware does not mean much if you don’t have a broker account and a trading plan.
Most people new to online trading will choose a broker that they can do both the share and cfd trading thorough, there are relatively few of these so make sure that you do your homework and choose the one that can offer you a platform that suits your trading strategy.
Online trading is a lifestyle change and choosing a strategy that suits is important, generally there are three types of strategies short, medium and long term which each requiring a very different level of attention. Of course there is no point quitting you day job to start online trading CFDs and shares if it results in more work not less. Most people give online trading a go for a few months, starting with a relatively small capital outlay before they commit to trading full time.
