LinkedIn Successful Australian trader, Davin Clarke, to take on major CFD providers in their own turf. Davin Clarke has been a professional trader for 12 years. Having traded with some of the major providers, he decided that it is about time Australian traders reap the benefits of competitive pricing and technology in their trading. “I’ve been a professional trader for over 12 years, and that’s opened up my eyes to the real important issues that matter to traders. Topmost is preservation and protection of your capital. Traders also need fast and instant execution of their trades,” Mr Clarke said. Queensland-based Clarke said the major CFD providers have long been charging high commission rates because they could. But he said with the advancement in technology that makes transactions and processing more efficient, traders need not pay through the nose. He added, “I’m confident that we can offer a much better platform as well as a much cheaper trading cost to traders. Traders in Australia are paying too much to their providers, but we are about to change that.” Clarke likens the launch of TradeDirect365 to other challenger brands in Australia. For example, he cited Optus when it took on the once dominant Telstra and opened up the competition in the telecommunication sector. Then there was John Symond (Aussie Home Loans) who competed with the big banks in providing cheaper home loans. “We are here to do what the other challenger brands have done before. We are here to give Australian traders a better choice, cheaper cost and more efficient trading,” said Mr Clarke.
