ok, have now established with Mquarie Prime for asx stocks.
Note, no costs to establish, no funds required, as i refinaced my ML from comsec.
Think they also accept other stocks as collateral for the 5g starting balance.
But, am still interested in o/s hong kong markets, and both comsec, MF global, and First Prudential offer this.
Notes, that FP offer trailing stop losses, might be handy in following a volitile intraday market.
But also discovered, danger with FP, that collateral stock and CFDs are held by FP HIN, not yours truely, so in an armagendon scenario, its back to a pooled fund.
Comsec, MF global, Mcquarie, all issue a new HIN to yours truely, so stock is still in my name, and so long as the account obligations are maintained, (LVR buffer, not into margin call etc) no hassles.
