regarding d4f aussie stocks they quote all individual stocks that make up the aussie 200 index. their quotes are the same as the stock exchange quotes except in a few cases of more rarely traded stocks. this is probably because the minimum trade is 1000 shares. they supposedly make their money on the gap between buying and selling price eg. if bhp is quoted 10.11-10.12 you sell to them at 10.11 and buy at 10.12. the difference between them and stockbrokers is that they are principals whereas stockbrokers act mainly as agents and can therefore charge a fee( brokerage ).d4f charge interest on purchases and pay interest on sales at alower rate. you can put limits on your orders and use stoplosses. this is only my opinion
